A method of damping oscillations in a multi-rotor wind turbine and a wind turbine are provided. The wind turbine comprises a wind turbine support structure and at least a first nacelle with a first rotor and a second nacelle with a second rotor, at least one of the nacelles being located at a position away from a central longitudinal axis of the wind turbine support structure. The method comprises the steps of receiving and processing motion data, selecting a damping algorithm and generating a pitch control signal. The processing comprises determining at least one prominent oscillation mode of the wind turbine support structure and selecting a corresponding damping algorithm.
