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.

Location

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]
