Lady's Holm is an island off southern Mainland in the Shetland Islands.[http://shetlopedia.com/Lady%27s_Holm Shetlopedia article] It is not to be confused with the Maiden Stack, which is also known as "Frau Stack"
It is to the west of Scat Ness and the village of Scatness, a headland on Mainland, and there is also another islet nearby, Little Holm.
Sumburgh Airport is about a mile northeast.
It is {{convert|21|m|ft}} at its highest point, which is marked by a cairn.
It was traditionally used for grazing sheep. Grey seals also inhabit the island and they were badly affected by the oil spill from the MV Brear in 1993.{{Cite journal|last=Hall|first=Ailsa J.|author-link=Ailsa Hall|last2=Watkins|first2=John|last3=Hiby|first3=Lex|date=1996-07-16|title=The impact of the 1993 Braer oil spill on grey seals in Shetland|journal=Science of the Total Environment|series=Marine Mammals And The Marine Environment|volume=186|issue=1–2|pages=119–125|doi=10.1016/0048-9697(96)05090-5|pmid=8685704}}
