Map of Muckle Green Holm

MUCKLE GREEN HOLM (possibly ON Hellis-ey, Cave or Holy Isle), is best known for the large number of Grey Seals which pup there in autumn. The females come ashore first, followed by the males who then attempt to dominate a number of cows. Although fights are rare, they are ferocious when they do occur. The pups are born with white coats which moult to silvery grey at about 3 weeks.
