Old Man of Storr Map / Location

Rising dramatically from the Trotternish landscape on the Isle of Skye, the Old Man of Storr is one of Scotland’s most iconic natural landmarks - a towering pinnacle of basalt rock set within a sprawling scree slope that beckons hikers and photographers alike. The trail to the summit offers an exhilarating climb with ever-changing views over rugged cliffs, the blue expanse of the Sound of Raasay, and distant hills cloaked in heather. Accessible via a well-marked path near the village of Staffin, this geological marvel formed by ancient landslides draws visitors year-round, especially at sunrise when golden light bathes the rock spire in dramatic contrast. Nearby attractions include the Quiraing and Kilt Rock, enhancing the area’s reputation for raw, untamed beauty.
