Explore Scotland | The Old Man of Storr (Isle of Skye)

awesome video, beautiful island .......:)

Hi Kim Awesome place! I'm glad you went to the top to look back over the 'The Old Man' to be rewarded with such beautiful distant views and once again looked like you thoroughly enjoyed yourself. Thank you!

Looks like a place worthy of returning to again & again... :-)

Lovely... Thanks for the tour!

great work again Kim

You are a credit to your generation Kim, your positivity is brilliant, keep doing what you do

Great job once again. I'm thinking of getting a camper van for my landscape photo trips (a la Thomas Heaton)......as soon as my torn rotator cuff heals!

Very enjoyable video Kim, thanks for sharing the view, it's a long way for me but one for my bucket list.

Would you consider photography by moonlight?

Thanks Kim, that was terrific. The path up there seems well defined. I would love to go to the top. As you say, wild camping and waking up to a sunrise would be something else. Hope you get to do it one day.

Maybe the end of the harsh Scottish winter did you say Kim? Think it might still be with you (and us further south in the U.K.) this coming week! Nice video again.

Thanks so much for sharing such a incredible spot with us!

What no camera, there must be something to the north worth taking to be different, good light in February too.

Another wonderful video Kim! I always enjoy your enthusiastic descriptions of your various locations! I would always take my camera with me even if I felt as though the light was not great. Did you ever consider doing HDR for high contrast images? You could always use that for doing beautiful black and Whites!

But what if you's seen a Wild Haggis? Always bring your camera! ;-)

nice

Great video heading to skye next week cant wait

Top of the world comes to mind Kim, an absolutely stunning location. Thank you

Your such an asset for Visit Scotland another excellent video Kim can't wait for the next video

Great view! I love how you are always amazed at nature and taken aback by it. I also love your passion for Scotland and it really does inspire me to go there (hopefully one day). I really would love to since my grandmother is a quarter Scottish as well. Growing up we would always go to the Scottish festival every year, but it would be amazing to go one day!

O.K., who wants to join in a GoFundMe for backing for Kim to return for a sunrise shoot? 😄

Have only been up there once but nothing like that. Think you should of had the camera the old man looks wicked with the mist behind it.

I had the benefit of a pre-dawn hike when I visited this place last year. It was so dark, I couldn't see how difficult a climb it would be! Unfortunately, and typically for me, when I got up to the top, it was dull, grey skies.

Thanks for taking us. I’m definitely inspired!

Thoroughly enjoying your videos Kim look forward to seeing you get out and wildcamp this year as well

Did you not take any images Kim?

I agree, this is one of the most beautiful places. I was there last May, the wind was ferocious back then. The hike up was not easy but it is so worth it. I fell in love with your country while being there, Kim. Going back in April. I can't wait! I dream of spending many weeks discovering many wonders of Scotland while sleeping in a campervan. One day, for sure!

I was up there on 15th Feb. Different story then, we got absolutely battered by winds and hail storms!

you are advised not to go beyond this point. 'goes beyond point' lol

Another great video Kim, again, I love your enthusiasm. Keep it up.

Nice one Kim. Although you spoke too soon about Spring on its way (i've got 18 inches of snow in my back garden).

We are planning our second trip to Scotland for this year (yes in December 🤔) we were there a couple of years ago,, and missed Skye . NOT THIS YEAR ! Know the weather is "iffy" to say the least, but hey ho it's the only time we can travel! And the wisky will keep you warm , and everything is off-season prices👍😎

We visited and fell in love with Skye in May 2017 and were lucky to have beautiful weather that week. The Old Man of Storr was without doubt the highlight of our week. We got up at 3.30am and managed to get to the top for sunrise (along with about 8 other photographers!). Utterly beautiful, peaceful, goosebump inducing experience. I don't think I've felt that way about a view before or since. Thanks for posting. Makes me want to go again.

You say the walk up is 'a lot tougher than people give it credit for', and that is the reason why you didn't go up for sunrise. Come on Kim, you could have done it very easily ;). It is also winter, so sunrise was at a decent time, unlike in the summer when I still manage to convince clients to make the very early start to go up there. I have had clients as old as 70 make it up in under 1.5 hours.

So impressively beautiful! We did not have the time to visit the Isle of Skye on our last trip to Scotland. :( I truly missed out!

I can understand why you didn't take your camera there is many photos taken during the day and from your video you could have got some very good images

Great video! I will go there next month ;-)

New subscriber!!! Lovely video and god I love your accent! :D

12 miserable sods didn't like this.Somebody commented in an other video about conemara in ireland that it looks the isle of skye i can see that now.

There is of course a natural geological answer to it, but still these formations looks somehow intimidating, as though they were alive long ago.

How long is the hike?

Scotland's scenery is so awesome... Thanks for taking us with you... I felt like I was by your side.... Thanks for taking the trouble to do these Vlogs... We love them... We wish you well from Northampton (the centre of England)....

Excellent video, such enthusiasm! We went last year - our vlog is on our channel. We were there in October and it was similarly quiet. Our summary was also “wow”!

Hi Kim, I'm researching before visiting Skye in May this year so than's for the tips. I really hope to be able to get up there for sunrise! Not sure I'm brave enough to wild camp up there!!!!! :-)

After seeing the mist in the rocks bet you wished you had brought your camera

This was one of my highlights to my trip to Scotland, definitely one of the best treks I've done and one of the best scenic views I've experienced. Can't wait to do it again!

I cant help hearing a verse from my favourite Runrig song as I watch your videos, Kim. No doubt you know it, but for those who don't..........
"There's thunder clouds, in the homeland bay
As I step out in the rain
In the sepia showers and the photo-flood days.
I saw a fleeting glimpse of light and the waters black as night,
while the colour's of Scotland Leave me warm inside.
Not sure if the verse is entirely correct but near enough and how I remember it.
God bless you, your enthusiasm is truly inspiring.
