Tour Overview

The Old Man Of Storr is one of Skye's unmissable landmarks that can be seen for miles around. Let us join you on the climb up the path to this ancient icon.

  • The Old Man Of Storr walk begins from the car park found here - . Much of your journey to the Faerie Pools follows a single track road. Pull into passing spaces and let cars behind you pass and you’ll have no problems.
  • Nearby - Talisker Distillery in Carbost and Glenbrittle Beach.
  • Bring suitable footwear, warm clothes, towels and food. You can swim in the pools, just remember, it’s cold!
  • Many visitors walk up the river and back the way they came, however there is a longer trail loop route taking about 3.5 hours which brings you back to the car park.
  • There are some fantastic viewpoints to enjoy along this route including waterfalls, pools and underwater arches.
  • A good visit to the Faerie pools will take 2 - 4 hours.
  • The trail follows a rocky path with large steps and uneven ground.
