Dore Holm
Dore Holm is a small but solidly-built islet off the south coast of Eshaness, in the west of Mainland, Shetland. It is notable for having one of the finest natural arches in the Shetland islands, giving dramatic views from the coast between Tangwick and Stenness. The island is a notable scenic feature for those making their way to the cliff walks and sea views at Eshaness. The characteristic and highly unusual shape of the arch has been compared to a horse drinking deeply from the water.
Isle of Stenness
The Isle of Stenness is one of the Shetland Islands. It is off north west Mainland, Shetland in the Northmavine. It sheltered the old fishing harbour at Esha Ness on the mainland. The Skerry of Eshaness and Dore Holm are not far away. Joan Grigsby camped here in 1933, and wrote the book An Island Rooin about it.
