Whitefowl Nevi, Head of Holland, Orkney
Presumably this was named after the fulmars which nest on it.
Behind is a quarry spoil heap of red sandstone. The quarry was the source of stone used to construct Kirkwall Cathedral in the 12th century. The quarry is not now in use, except when stone needs to be sourced for restoration work at the cathedral.
Beyond is the tip of Head of Holland at North Taing.
