Old Photographs Dore Holm Scotland

Old photograph of Dore Holm a small island off the south coast off Eshaness Shetland, Scotland. It is notable for having one of the finest natural arches in the Shetland islands. The characteristic and highly unusual shape of the arch has been compared to a horse drinking deeply from the water. The name appears to be derived from 'door', the word 'holm' being of Scandinavian origin and meaning a small island.
