Old Man of Storr and Boats

The storr is a prime example of the Trotternish landslip, the longest such feature in Great Britain. The area in front of the cliffs of the Storr is known as the Sanctuary. This has a number of weirdly shaped rock pinnacles, the remnants of ancient landslips. One of the most famous of these is known as the Old Man of Storr (centre of image), a bowdlerisation of the Gaelic Bod an Stòr - phallus of Storr.
