Standing on the edge of a cliff that plunges straight into the seabed like a knife, the early winter climate makes everything in the distance a little foggy. Unlike the clear sky with white clouds floating in the sky, it looks like it is covered with a veil.
A very famous attraction on Skye Island, a cliff on the seashore, named Skirt Cliff because the rock looks like a Scottish skirt. One of the waterfalls with a huge drop is very spectacular.

located isle of skye , Scotland old man of storr rock formation is sure interesting the surrounding and the hike itself is super interesting too. we climb 2.5 hour forth and back in the morning before the crowd start to flow in . definitely do it again if we have the chance
We rode the bus for a long time, and then the tour guide suddenly called us to get off the bus: "Look! That's Old Man Peak in front of us." I looked carefully for a long time, but it was foggy and misty in the early winter, so I couldn't see it clearly, and I couldn't imagine that it was an old man's face.

The most representative scenic spot in the Scottish Highlands, suitable for self-driving, with beautiful scenery along the way. This mountain pass is spectacular and has a large number of tourists. It is green in summer and a little desolate in winter.
So I barely managed to take a photo of Mealt Fall. The rock in front is called Kilt Rock because its texture looks like a Scottish skirt.
Continue north and you will reach Quiraing, which I have been dreaming about. You can turn left after passing Staffin (there is no road sign, so be careful). This road is a bit rough, and there are several sections that are one-way, but the hairpin bends at the back are the real test.
This landform appeared in "The Hobbit" and several other movies. You can reach the top after turning two hairpin bends. The difficulty is that the slope is large and vans often drive up, so it is easy to get stuck when passing.
Now turn west to Fairy Glen. The road to Uig is still a bumpy one-lane road, but it is not a big problem if you drive slowly. This village (?) is very small, with a gas station, convenience store and several restaurants. For lunch, I recommend The Sheiling and Ella's, which has a variety of British simple meals and home-baked bread, and costs about 15 pounds.
