Law Ting Holm (also known as Tingaholm[2]) is a small promontory at the north end of the freshwater Loch of Tingwall, Mainland Shetland, Scotland.[1] It was once an islet entirely surrounded by water, joined to the shore by a stone causeway 1.7 metres (6 ft) wide and 42.7 metres (140 ft) long.[3][4] In the 1850s the levels of the loch were lowered and the holm evolved to its present form.[5] The Loch of Tingwall is west of the town of Lerwick and has one additional island - Holm of Setter.
