The Storr, a prominent landmark on Scotland's Isle of Skye, offers a rewarding hiking experience to its iconic rock pinnacles, including the Old Man of Storr. The main trail is well-trodden but features steep, uneven, and potentially muddy sections, requiring appropriate footwear; access to the trailhead is by car with a paid car park, but the hike itself is not wheelchair accessible. Visitors can easily undertake the hike solo, though it's also a popular stop on guided tours of Skye. While accessible year-round, be prepared for challenging and rapidly changing weather conditions, especially strong winds, rain, and potential snow in winter. The approximate cost is limited to parking fees, as the hike itself is free. A typical visit duration ranges from 2 to 4 hours, allowing ample time for ascent, exploration, and enjoying the breathtaking panoramic views. Arriving early or late during peak season is recommended to secure parking and avoid crowds.
