Rampsholme certainly has more of a Wild Cat "look" than St. Herbert's Island.
But it would seem odd to import anything much from Derwent Water... Although Friar's Crag has always been a popular Darien.
Of course, there's a kind of weird logic in replacing the amorphous Ramp Holme with the more shapely Rampsholme, the too-wooded Windermere Lingholme with the desert-island Derwent Water Lingholme, the slightly elevated Cockshott Point with the romantic Friar's Crag... But there isn't a lot of evidence for any of this!!
