Isle of Skye - Scotland

The island is known for the breathtaking landscapes you can admire in Scotland. This time, a walk around the Old Man of Storr.

The place has changed a bit since our last visit. A large car park and toilets. Completely different from last time. We went there fairly early, so there were very few people. Unfortunately, on the way back there were crowds, so it became crowded and noisy. This time the place more resembled Mordor, because fog kept rolling over the hills. The landscape around the Old Man of Storr was used in the latest TV series The Witcher. Kaer Morhen, the witchers' stronghold, was located here.

The Old Man of Storr is a distinctive rock formation on the Isle of Skye in Scotland that attracts tourists from around the world. It is a huge rock over 50 metres tall, rising on the steep slope of a hill.

According to one legend, the Old Man of Storr is one of three giants who were invited to the island by the local people to build a bridge between the Isle of Skye and the mainland. The giants began building the bridge but were betrayed by the people, who killed one of them, causing the bridge never to be completed. The remaining rocks on the hill are the remnants of the giants' unfinished work.

Another legend says that the Old Man of Storr is the remnant of a spear that a giant threw at his enemy.

The Old Man of Storr is also a popular spot for climbers, who often approach the rock to admire the incredible views of the surrounding area. For those who aren't climbers, there is an easier path that winds through beautiful scenery and offers the chance to view the massive rock up close.

The Old Man of Storr is one of the most picturesque places on the Isle of Skye and one of Scotland's best-known symbols.
