Island 434 - Holm/Eilean Thuilm 2, Lewis

Holm or Eilean Thuilm 2 is located to the south west of Holm 2 and two miles south east of the town of Stornoway on the Isle of Lewis.  At low tide Holm 2 is linked 2 Holm 1 by a rocky beach.  It is a round island and is about 200 metres in diameter.  It rises to a height of 20 metres above sea level, is covered in grass and was being grazed by sheep when I visited in early June 2018.
