The Storr Sanctuary on the Isle of Skye makes an excellent half day walk. The evocative shape of the Old Man of Storr especially in mist is good enough reason to do this walk. For those managing to reach the Storr in good weather then the reward is superb views to the Scottish mainland.
Please maintain social distancing - keep at least 2 metres away from other walkers. Travel restrictions for exercise in Wales and Scotland will be lifted in early July.
