The Old Man Of Storr might be the most famous attraction on the Isle of Skye and is definitively a must-see. The hike is nice and not too difficult. The walk itself from the car park (up and down) covers a distance of nearly 4 km and is in good shape. There are always a lot of people so you should visit this spot in the evening when all the tourists already have left for dinner in town. I arrived there around 8 o'clock and met 5 other hikers.
If you go there in the summer months the sunset is after 10 o'clock so you have enough time for hiking and shooting.

Photography Tips

You should carry a tripod as it can be windy up there. Get there early. Can be busy. We rose at 3.00am, drove 30 minutes, walked/scrambled up 900 feet and had a total round trip hike of about 4 miles. Winds can be strong when you get up there.

Travel Information

The Old Man Of Storr is located 10 km northerly from Portree in the area known as ‘Trotternish’ and can easily be seen from the A855 road when you're driving to Staffin. The official car park is free of charge.

You took this shot in the evening? How'd you get the light to come from the East? Where I live, at least, evening light comes from the West. Something doesn't add up here. Regardless, Skye is a magical place, isn't it, especially it's East coast.

How long is the hike?

The hike to the spot from where the photography is taken is a bit under an hour. There is another two spots of the same rock formation nearby, one of the them a bit earlier than this point and another one even higher.

Great shot. How long do you have to walk to get to this spot (it seems to be in the middle of nowhere - does a footpath lead there or did you just cut cross country?)
