The Old Man of Storr


The Old Man of Storr, a natural rock formation located on the Trotternish Peninsula of the Isle of Skye in Scotland. It is one of the most popular tourist attractions on the island, and is a favorite spot for hikers and photographers.

The Old Man of Storr is a large pinnacle of rock that stands at the summit of a steep hill, known as the Storr. The rock formation is believed to have been formed by a landslide that occurred thousands of years ago.

The Storr is part of the Trotternish Ridge, which is a geological formation that runs for several miles along the eastern coast of the Isle of Skye. The ridge is composed of a series of rocky peaks and pinnacles, and offers stunning views of the surrounding landscape.

Hiking to the Old Man of Storr is a popular activity for visitors to the Isle of Skye. The hike is considered moderately challenging, with a steep ascent and descent. However, the reward for reaching the top is the breathtaking view of the surrounding landscape, including the Isle of Raasay and the mainland of Scotland.

The Old Man of Storr is a must-visit destination for anyone traveling to the Isle of Skye, and is a perfect example of the natural beauty that can be found on the Scottish island.

The Old Man of Storr is about 32 miles from the Three Chimneys and could be combined with a visit to Kilt rock and the Fairy Glen.
