About Inner Holm
Inner Holm is an island. Location: Orkney Islands, Scotland.
Inner Holm is a small inhabited island in Stromness harbour and one of the Orkney islands of Scotland. It is about 350 metres (1,150 ft) east of the harbour front of Stromness but it is connected to the Orkney Mainland shore at low tide on the opposite side of the bay. The larger islet of Outer Holm, to which Inner Holm is also connected at low tide, lies to the south. The waters of Cairston Roads, part of Scapa Flow, lie to the east.
