The Isle of Skye, or simply Skye, is the largest and northernmost of the major islands in the Inner Hebrides of Scotland. The island’s peninsulas radiate from a mountainous hub dominated by the Cuillin, the rocky slopes of which provide some of the most dramatic mountain scenery in the country. Although it has been suggested that Sgitheanach describes a winged shape there is no definitive agreement as to the name’s origins.

The Old Man of Storr looms over Portree, Isle of Skye and is situated 7 miles north of the town. It is dominated by the 50 metre high petrified lava pinnacle of the Old Man of Storr, with a brutal tumble of cliff behind, and the panorama spreads across loch, sea and islands to the high mountains of the mainland beyond.
