Unknown · Europe · 60.83°N, 0.77°W
The Holm of Skaw is a small islet off the northeast coast of the island of Unst. It is just northeast of the settlement of Skaw. The island is 57 feet (17 m) in height. There is a small solar-powered unmanned lighthouse on the islet, which is managed and regularly maintained by the Northern Lighthouse Board. Tidal currents are slack between the Holm of Skaw and Herma Ness at high water, and the passage may be made by small boats. The Skaw Röst, a dangerous tidal race, forms off the shore of the Holm of Skaw and Lamba Ness.
