Approximately in the centre of the peninsula there is a clearly visible north-south trending fault which dips to the east. In this area, the lower sediments gave way under the weight of the basalt, resulting in huge landslides. In the area of the highest point of the escarpment, the 719 metre high Storr, various rocks and boulders have formed, the most prominent of which is the Old Man of Storr. The rocky area below the escarpment up to the Old Man is also known as The Sanctuary.   <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c96d33b gallery-spacing-custom elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-gallery\" data-id=\"c96d33b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image-gallery.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-10800 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-full'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"c96d33b\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"Old Man of Storr\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6MTA2MDUsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOlwvXC9kZXN0YXJ5LmNvbVwvd3AtY29udGVudFwvdXBsb2Fkc1wvMjAyNFwvMDRcL2xvZ2Jvb2tfY2VsdGljX3RyaXAtOS1zY2FsZWQuanBnIiwic2xpZGVzaG93IjoiYzk2ZDMzYiJ9\" href='https:\/\/destary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/logbook_celtic_trip-9-scaled.jpg'><img width=\"2048\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/destary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/logbook_celtic_trip-9-scaled.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"Old Man of Storr\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-10605\" decoding=\"async\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-10605'>\n\t\t\t\tOld Man of Storr\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"c96d33b\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"Anna in front of the Old Man of Storr\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6MTA3ODYsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOlwvXC9kZXN0YXJ5LmNvbVwvd3AtY29udGVudFwvdXBsb2Fkc1wvMjAyNFwvMDVcL29sZF9tYW5fb2Zfc3RvcnItMS1zY2FsZWQuanBnIiwic2xpZGVzaG93IjoiYzk2ZDMzYiJ9\" href='https:\/\/destary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/old_man_of_storr-1-scaled.jpg'><img width=\"2048\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/destary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/old_man_of_storr-1-scaled.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"Anna in front of the Old Man of Storr\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-10786\" decoding=\"async\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-10786'>\n\t\t\t\tAnna in front of the Old Man of Storr\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"c96d33b\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"Old Man of Storr\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6MTA3OTIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOlwvXC9kZXN0YXJ5LmNvbVwvd3AtY29udGVudFwvdXBsb2Fkc1wvMjAyNFwvMDVcL29sZF9tYW5fb2Zfc3RvcnItNC1zY2FsZWQuanBnIiwic2xpZGVzaG93IjoiYzk2ZDMzYiJ9\" href='https:\/\/destary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/old_man_of_storr-4-scaled.jpg'><img width=\"2048\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/destary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/old_man_of_storr-4-scaled.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"Old Man of Storr\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-10792\" decoding=\"async\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-10792'>\n\t\t\t\tOld Man of Storr\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bebbfb1 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"bebbfb1\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6c1ce01 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"6c1ce01\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Legends surrounding the Old Man of Storr<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b6425ae elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b6425ae\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>There are several legends associated with the Old Man of Storr.

With spectacular views of the surrounding countryside, the most popular walk takes you right to the foot of the rocky outcrop. It is generally easy and follows wide, tarmac paths and small, sometimes stony tracks. The start of the walk is 15 minutes north of Portree on the A8553. Allow around three hours for the walk. The paths can be muddy, especially in wet weather, so ankle high waterproof walking boots are recommended. The best time to walk is between May and November.      <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2c03b3b e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"2c03b3b\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-335ef1b elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"335ef1b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The Old Man of Storr as a film set<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3201a6e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3201a6e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The Old Man of Storr and its surroundings have also been used as a film set, most recently in 2012 for Ridley Scott&#8217;s science fiction film &#8216;Prometheus &#8211; Dark Signs&#8217; and the fantasy film &#8216;Snow White and the Huntsman&#8217;.
