Holoman Island
Holoman Island from Raasay
Holoman is a small tidal island situated 100 metres off the shore of the west coast of the island of Raasay, which is itself located off the east coast of the Isle of Skye. It is presumably named after the hamlet of houses nearby. It is accessible across a sandy and rocky causeway, which is uncovered for a couple of hours either side of low tide.

Sheep on Holoman Island
This island obviously has enough grass to graze a few sheep because here they are - they had walked across from Raasay because I could see their hoof prints in the sand and I followed some of them back. They weren't the most interesting animals on the island however, as I inadvertently disturbed 24 seals who were lounging around on the rocks. They got back in the sea as soon as they noticed me.
