The Inner Holm of Skaw is a small, uninhabited islet off the northern tip of the island of Whalsay, in the Shetland Islands of Scotland, north of the village of Skaw.
A kayaker may find their way through the rocks between the islet and the headland of Skaw Taing on Whalsay. [2] Further out to sea there is another rocky islet, the Outer Holm of Skaw. [3] The islet has a ruined chapel. [4] In 1955 a pair of Sandwich terns nested on the islet. [5]
