Summit of The Storr

Highlight • Summit

The Storr is a fantastic, rocky hill on the Isle of Skye. While it's most famous for the rocky pinnacle below its summit – The Old Man of Storr – the hill itself makes for a terrific hike. You can reach the summit via a variety of steep, rocky trails that lead up from nearby car parks, and quickly gain outstanding views across the sea to the mainland.

The summit stands at 2,359 feet (719 m) and has a sheer, eastern face and a gentler western slope.

View of the Old Man of Storr

Highlight • Viewpoint

Amazing view on a sunny day. Start your walk early in the morning to feel some solitude and take the roundtrip to the Old Man of Storr.

Highlight • Natural Monument

I took the curve on the way up rather than on the way down because that way the climb is a bit flatter, at least in the lower section.

View of Loch Leathan and Loch Parishale

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

From the normally very busy, large car park on the A855, there is a short side detour you can take if you are walking to see The Old Man of Storr to the very quaint but tiny Loch Parishale that is perched on the hillside overlooking Loch Leathen. This is only a very short detour where you will have nice views towards Loch Leathen and up towards The Storr. A super nice place to be on a rare sunny Scottish day.

The Old Man of Storr

Highlight • Natural Monument

If the crowds in the parking lot are too much for you, you can also see the mountain very well from the side of the road.
