Muckle Green Holm : ウィキペディア英語版 | Muckle Green Holm
Muckle Green Holm is an uninhabited island in the North Isles of the Orkney archipelago in Scotland. It is roughly in extent and rises to above sea level, the summit having a trig point. The literal meaning of the name is somewhat contradictory. 'Holm' is from the Old Norse ''holmr'', meaning a small and rounded islet.〔Waugh, Doreen J., ''Orkney Place-names'' in Omand, Donald (ed.) (2003) ''The Orkney Book''. Edinburgh, Birlinn. Page 119〕 'Muckle' is Scots for 'big' or 'large' so it's a big small island. To the south lies Little Green Holm, and between the two is the Sound of Green Holms. Eastward is a strait called Fall of Warness between Muckle Green Holm and the much larger island of Eday. In these waters the European Marine Energy Centre have installed tidal power testing equipment.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=EMEC )〕 Muckle Green Holm has a great cormorant colony and a population of European otters.〔 ==See also== List of Orkney islands
