The Quiraing and the Old Man of Storr are two of the most iconic and dramatic landscapes on the Isle of Skye. Located on the Trotternish Ridge, the Quiraing is a landslip that has created surreal rock formations, cliffs, and plateaus. The views here are otherworldly, with sweeping vistas over the island’s rugged terrain and the sea beyond. Hikers can explore the paths that wind through this stunning landscape, taking in the unique geological features shaped by ancient landslides.
Not far from the Quiraing is the Old Man of Storr, a towering rock pinnacle that rises dramatically from the surrounding hills. Legend has it that the rock is the thumb of a giant buried beneath the earth. The hike to the Old Man of Storr offers breathtaking views and is a favorite for photographers looking to capture the natural beauty of the Isle of Skye.
