The Sound of Papa, (HU180585), is a stretch of water on the northwest coast of the West Shetland Mainland, between the island of Papa Stour and the village of Sandness.
This stretch of water has always been notorious for strong tides, but it reached a new level of notoriety in June 2008, when Stuart Hill declared Forewick Holm to be a crown dependency, under the new name of Forvik Island.
