Part of the Trotternish Peninsula, "Old Man of Storr" is a 160ft (54m) tapered slab of basalt that proudly sits apart from the rest of Storr due to a massive landslide 6,500 years ago
Set upon volcanic rock overlooking a sea loch, Dunvegan Castle has been the home of the chiefs of Clan MacLeod for 1,000 years

We had it all today: sunshine in the morning, clouds in the afternoon and rain at the end of the day. A normal summer day in Scotland. It was a full day of touring and the Isle of Skye did not disappoint. It truly is a wild, rugged, barren, unspoiled and remote piece of Scotland and we loved all of it. It even has it's own scotch distillery, Talisker, which we managed to tour. The pictures tell a better story than I can.
