Storry time

On a flight from Benbecula to Plockton I decided to take a slight detour to see one of the local landmarks.

The Storr is on the Trotternish Peninsular on the Isle of Skye.

The rock pinnacles are the remains of ancient landslides.

The largest pinnacle is know as Bodach an Stoir or The Old Man of Stoir.

Strangely enough, his fraternal twin "The old man of Stoer" has an almost identical spot further up the coast from Skye.  Each was born with a similar set of rocks but some disagreement, probably over a girl, cause one to leave Skye and set up shop elsewhere.

Awesome Martyn, how in the world did you find this place?

Thanks Jack, with the KMZ file on Google Earth. 

I am not sure if there is one for XP or if it was from the old Scots region.:unsure:
