Lamb Holm

About

Lamb Holm is a small uninhabited island in Orkney, Scotland, now connected to its neighbours by two of the Churchill Barriers. During the early 1940s it was the site of 'Camp 60', housing 550 Italian Prisoners of War who helped construct the causeways. Another legacy of their time on the island is the Italian Chapel, now the island's main attraction. A grass airfield occupies much of the island interior.

Lamb Holm is classified by the National Records of Scotland as an uninhabited island that "had no usual residents at the time of either the 2001 or 2011 censuses."
