Lady's Holm is an island off southern Mainland in the Shetland Islands.[2] It is not to be confused with the Maiden Stack, which is also known as "Frau Stack"
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]
