The Old Man of Storr on the Trotternish Ridge is probably the most famous walk on the Isle of Skye.
The Old Man (Bodach an Stòr in Gaelic), is a 55-metre-high pinnacle of basalt rock which is all that remains of a 2,800-million-year-old volcanic plug.

We took the opportunity to do this walk early(ish) this morning. Brodie came with and although on the lead the whole time as there were sheep about, his behaviour was exemplary.

The Trotternish Ridge (highest summit being The Storr at 719m) was created around 60million years ago by a massive landslip. Hot volcanic lava flowed onto the weaker sedimentary Jurassic rock beneath it causing the latter to collapse and form the undulating cliff faces of the eastern coastline of Trotternish. The magnificent pinnacles and weathered basalt rock formations of The Storr dominates the Island’s north-eastern landscape and can be seen for miles by travellers heading north as well as from the mainland. It is one of the most photographed landscapes in Scotland. The rocky peak dominates the area and its summit is a touchpoint along The Skye Trail, a popular walking route that can take anything from 5-10 days by foot. The ‘Old Man’ stands in front of the Storr and is scarcely visible from down on the main road. The walk up to it is steep but fairly short. This view from the highest lookout point is the reward. The Cuillin Hils are in the distance..

Divine Skye - Looking down the Trotternish ridge as dawn breaks across the Isle of Skye.

The intense golden hour light floods the landscape with incredible rich warmth, revealing some spectacular colours.

Viewed from the Quiraing, the dawn light picks out the golden slopes of Cleat and Bioda Buidhe with Beinn Edra tucked away in the distance with the early spring buds just beginning to show on the ever enduring rowan.

The very best that this divine landscape has to offer.

Looking south from Flodigarry on the Isle of Skye's Trotternish Peninsula. The image shows a view down a rough grassy slope towards a shoreline that stretches from bottom left to middle right. There are some white houses scattered behind the shore and in the distance a headland with grassy cliffs extends from right to left, with a low-lying island off its tip.

The superb Skye Museum of Island Life, near the tip of the Isle of Skye's Trotternish peninsula, gives an insight into a way of life common on Skye at the close of the 1800s but which has since virtually disappeared.

The Skye Museum of Island Life. The image shows two thatched stone single-storey buildings with a green and red cart in the left foreground that has a large barrel mounted on it. Other parts of green or red farming implements are visible bottom left and in the right middle of the frame. The scene is in sunlight.

Blau-graue dichte Wolken am Himmel mit ein wenig Licht in der Mitte des Bildes sorgen für eine dramatische Atmosphäre in der Bergkulisse. Zwei große Felsnadeln ragen in den Himmel hinein, eine Wasserfläche ist zwischen den Bergen zu erkennen.

Blue-gray dense clouds in the sky with a little light in the middle of the picture create a dramatic atmosphere in the mountain scenery. Two large rock needles protrude into the sky, a body of water can be seen between the mountains.
