Mountain sights in Isle Of Skye

  1. Cuillin Hills

    Rising to the west of Broadford, the jagged peaks and ridges of Britain's most impressive mountain range saw at the usually grey sky. Climbers and walkers see them as the challenge in Scotland, particularly the highest summit, Sgurr Alasdair (993m). The crossroads at Sligachan (Sligeachan) are a good starting point for hikes as well as the preferred photography stop - you'll know it by the tangle of tripods.

  2. A

    Old Man of Storr

    At 50m (164ft) high, the potbellied pinnacle of crumbling basalt known as the Old Man of Storr can be reached by foot from the car park in the woods to the north of Loch Leathan. The round trip takes about an hour. It's one of several natural features on the Trotternish peninsula that are among the island's most beautiful and bizarre.
