It is to the west of Scat Ness and the village of Scatness, a headland on Mainland, and there is also another islet nearby, Little Holm.
Sumburgh Airport is about a mile northeast.
It is 21 metres (69 ft) at its highest point, which is marked by a cairn.[2]
It was traditionally used for grazing sheep.[2] Grey seals also inhabit the island and they were badly affected by the oil spill from the MV Brear in 1993.[3]
In 1942, a Bristol Blenheim Mk IV bomber of the RCAF crashed off Lady's Holm.[4]
