  1. Short stop and hop to top of mountain storr. 🤓 (Few days ago)

    The winds were quite the nice experience on the top ☺️

  2. This is a view of the snowy Cuillin range here on Skye. Although over 20 miles away from us they are a powerful presence. There are 12 Munros in there.

    Munros in Scotland are mountains 3,000 ft (914.4m) or over.

    “There are in total 282 Munros across Scotland. The highest Munro is Ben Nevis at 4,411 ft (1,345 m), though there are lower, but arguably more challenging Munros to climb, such as the 12 airy peaks of the Black Cuillin on Skye..”

  3. The Old Man of Storr on the Isle of Skye from a couple of days ago #IsleOfSkye #Scotland #Storr

  4. The Storr (Scottish Gaelic: An Stòr) is a rocky hill on the Trotternish peninsula of the Isle of Skye in Scotland. The hill presents a steep rocky eastern face overlooking the Sound of Raasay, contrasting with gentler grassy slopes to the west.

    The Storr is a prime example of the Trotternish landslip, the longest such feature in Great Britain. It is the type locality for the mineral gyrolite.

  5. Another couple taken around the Storr, from the same misty visit. A surreal and alien landscape with irregular, broken shapes #IsleofSkye #ScottishLandscapes #Storr
