The Storr & Loch Leathan

The Storr & Loch Leathan

Storr is the highest point (2,360 feet) of the long ridge of mountains which form the backbone of Trotternish on the Isle of Skye. The hill presents a steep rocky eastern face overlooking the Sound of Raasay, contrasting with gentler grassy slopes to the west.

The Storr is prime example of the Trotternish landslip, the longest such feature in Great Britain. The area in front of the cliffs of The Storr is known as The Sanctuary. This has a number of weirdly shaped rock pinnacles, the remains of ancient volcanic plugs. One of the most famous of these is known as The Old Man of Storr who, unfortunately, lost his head in a very severe storm half a century ago but is still a stately and impressive pinnacle.
