Corn Holm, Tidal island in Orkney Islands, United Kingdom.

Corn Holm extends along the northeastern coast of Scotland, featuring distinct red sandstone formations that shape its coastal profile and landscape.

The remains of an ancient chapel on the island indicate early religious settlements, connecting it to the medieval history of the Orkney archipelago.

The island forms part of the Norse and Scottish maritime heritage, reflecting the traditional connection between land and sea in the Orkney Islands.

Access to Corn Holm depends on tidal patterns, with visitors able to reach the island from Black Holm and Ward Holm during low tide periods.

The connection known as Isle Rough links Corn Holm to Copinsay, creating a natural pathway that appears and disappears with tidal movements.
