Isle of Skye & Scottish Highlands: 3-Day Iconic Landscapes Tour

Old Man of Storr

Old Man of Storr

Iconic rock pinnacle above Skye’s east coast, symbol of the island’s wild landscape.
The Old Man of Storr is an unmistakable rock pinnacle rising from the slopes above Skye’s east coast. Formed by ancient landslides, its jagged silhouette dominates the skyline and has become an emblem of the island. A walk towards the base leads through moorland and past other dramatic rock formations, with ever-expanding views over the Sound of Raasay. Even admired from a roadside viewpoint, the Old Man captures the wild, otherworldly character of Skye.
