That one threw me as I’ve always known it as ‘Lindisfarne’ But you’re right, it IS also known as Holy Island!

Staying with the ‘Island’ theme. How about Isle of Man for a follow-up?

Jura :scotland: is another island following on from the Isle of Man entry above.

Queensferry - South and North on the Firth of Forth. These two villages became very quiet after 1964 when the Forth Road Bridge was opened to carry the traffic over from Edinburgh to Fife. I remember stopping at the bridge viewpoint in the summer of 1964 to view the new engineering masterpiece. We then crossed the bridge and carried on to Inverness.
