Why Old Man of Storr matters
The Old Man of Storr is a tall rock pinnacle standing among jagged cliffs above the east coast of Skye. The path climbs steeply for about an hour, rewarding you with views across the sea to the mainland. It is a classic photograph, especially when mist drifts through the rocks, so allow extra time.
Talking points
- The pinnacle is a landmark of Skye.
- The walk is steep.
- Mist adds drama.
