Corn Holm is a small tidal island in the Orkneys, near Copinsay to the west. There was once a small chapel here [1] , and it is covered in birdlife.
[edit] Geography and geology
Corn Holm is made up of red sandstone[1] .
At low tide it is connected to Black Holm and Ward Holm, and is connected to Copinsay by a stretch called "Isle Rough". The sections north and south of Isle Rough are known as North and South Bay.
