THE OLD MAN OF STORR
The Old Man of Storr is a unique rock formation located 7 miles north of Portree, via the A855, on the Trotternish Peninsula. It rises among other rocks more than 50 metres above the ground. Legend has it that Storr's old man was a giant who lived here. When he lay on the ridge at the hour of his last breath, his thumb remained raised. The Storr refers to the group of rocks that surround the old man. It is a title derived from a Nordic word meaning "great man". The path leading to the site from the roadside parking lot represents approximately 3.8 km round trip. Allow 1 hour and 15 minutes of walking, without the inevitable breaks to admire the landscape and take pictures. The site is very popular... and very popular.
