Day 15 Isle of Skye

Spend the day driving Isle of Skye

Visited - Loch Ness, Portree, Kilt and Uig but most importantly - hiked the Storr.

The Old Man of Storr is one of the most famous landmarks on the Isle of Skye.

It’s a tall, jagged pinnacle of rock rising dramatically from the Trotternish Ridge, shaped over millions of years by ancient landslides and volcanic activity. The name comes from its appearance: from certain angles, the formation looks like the silhouette of an old man’s head and body watching over the landscape.

Beyond geology, it’s wrapped in legend. Local Skye folklore says the “Old Man” was a giant who lived in the area. When he died, he was buried in the earth, and his thumb remained sticking out — becoming the iconic rock pillar we see today.

Lunch at Portree and we are staying over at a lovey cabin near the Skye bridge
