Old Man of Storr // My first EVER visit

As incredible as this may sound, it is a sad truth: I'd never visited the Old Man of Storr on the Isle of Skye. It's such an iconic place that the very thought of a photographer - that absolutely LOVES dramatic landscapes - never having visited before seems utterly ludicrous.

But with the rise of social media and the popularity of Skye the desire to visit slowly dwindled over the years. The thought of chaotic roads and crowds of tourists put me off going. Until now. Now it was finally time to go and see the Old Man of Storr!

Join me on a mini-roadtrip to this magical island; travelling through some of our country's most beautiful landscapes along the way. Witness my excitement at seeing this giant monolith for the first time and marvel at the heavenly location that I visited on the last day.

Thank you for watching and for the continued support; it means more than you know!
