		The parish of Holm (always pronounced Ham, though spelt Holm for reasons which defeat both Hugh Marwick and the author of this book) is not perhaps the most noteworthy of the Orkney parishes at first sight.
		This is not a history of Holm as such, but a glimpse of the parish in the heyday of the family who left the greatest mark.
		There is an older story to Holm, particularly involving the curious sub-parish of Paplay, entered separately in the early rentals, probably because it had been acquired by William, the last Sinclair earl, as part of the personal estates which continued to give him a locus in Orkney after his loss of the earldom.

		Between Burray and the Mainland is a strait only a mile wide, but for its size, especially if troubled by the wind, stormy and with a swift tide; in the vernacular it is called Holm Sound, from the parish of Holm, part of the Mainland, which it flows past.
		In this strait lie three holms, situated not far from each other, namely Lamb Holm, in which a farmer lives, because it produces crops and grass, and Glimps Holm, grassy, and Hunda, covered with heather; both suited to pasturing beasts.
		It has various promontories, and a holm close to it, called Calf of Flotta, of the same nature as its mother Flotta.

		However, it was those 550 in the smaller Camp 60 on Lamb Holm island, arriving in January 1942, who were to leave the greatest legacy to the islands.
