Corn Holm Explained

Corn Holm is a small tidal island in Orkney, near Copinsay to the west, off the north-eastern coast of Scotland. There was once a small chapel there,[1] and it is covered in birdlife.

Geography and geology

Corn Holm is made up of red sandstone.[1] At low tide it is connected to Black Holm and Ward Holm, and is connected to Copinsay by a stretch called "Isle Rough". The sections north and south of Isle Rough are known as North and South Bay.
