The Storr Summit

Recommended by 156 hikers

The Storr itself often gets a little upstaged by the phenomenal rock pinnacle lying in its lee – the Old Man of Storr – but the mountain itself is just as epic. This astounding summit lies on Scotland’s Isle of Skye in the Trotternish Peninsula and provides fantastic views over the sea to mainland Scotland, along the Trotternish and across the island.

    Tips

    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.

      The climb is relatively easy and there are fabulous views from the top of Storr.
