Isbister Holm



Isbister Holm is a small islet in the Shetland islands of Scotland, situated roughly 2 km east off the coast of Isbister, Whalsay. The highest point of the islet is about 65 ft and it measures roughly 500 m by 250 m. To the north are the islets of Mooa and Nista. On 12 November 1778 Jufron Ingester was shipwrecked, probably on the holm, the precise location not being certain. It was carrying some 260 tons of skins, tallow and coarse hose from Ireland to Copenhagen. One crew member died and the cargo was not salvaged.
