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.

We were there in fog, looks pretty mystical. Very nice vision.

It's worth your while to get up early, otherwise it may be that you feel like you're walking up the mountain with 200 people. The first lookout point is very busy. Unfortunately, it is criss-crossed, and the landscape and the picture suffer. The higher you get, the quieter it gets. It is worth the walk around the Old Man to see from the other side

Easy to find, easy to explore. That's why it often overflows, even in the off-season, but still nice to look at.

If you have made the ascent, you will be rewarded with this great view. It is worth it because it is even nicer in nature.

Worth a climb even when the weather is not so nice. The crowds are not that huge.

Not very busy as most people stay at the lower viewing point.
Nice view of the Highlands on the mainland too.

In addition to the usual beautiful views in Isle of Skye, there are also great rock formations: D

There is now a large parking lot (with parking meter), toilets etc under construction. The way up the mountain is also made properly so that there is no mud fight.

It is a short and actually an easy walk, stilll one has to walk up hill for around 30 minutes. Nowadays there is a proper path one can use, so the way not as boggy as it used to be. The view is breathtaking!
