Linga Holm Linga Holm Linga Holm, also known as Midgarth and the Holm of Midgarth is an uninhabited Scottish island extending to approximately situated west of Stronsay island in the Orkney archipelago. The name "Linga Holm" is derived from the Old Norse "Lyngholm". In common with many other Orkney islands, Linga Holm contains numerous archaeological remains. These include Pictish houses and ancient cairns. Although it is currently uninhabited, a household of six was recorded in 1841. In 1973 the Rare Breeds Survival Trust established a refuge population here of the very rare North Ronaldsay sheep, and the flock now numbers some 400.
