The summit showcases a small cairn and fantastic panoramic views that will have you feeling like the king (or queen) of the hill.
The Storr East Top is primarily composed of Jurassic basalt and sandstone. These rocks have weathered over time, creating impressive cliffs and unique formations. The age of the rocks means they have steadfastly withstood the elements, making for interesting geological features that can spark any rock enthusiast's interest.
From the summit, you can see the Old Man of Storr, the Sound of Raasay and the majestic Trotternish Ridge stretching to the north.
'Storr' is derived from the Norse word ‘stor’, meaning 'great' or 'big', which perfectly describes this majestic landform. The area is rich in folklore, including tales of giants that are said to have roamed these very hills.
The Storr is not just a pretty face; it has significant geological and cultural heritage, dating back to the Pictish era.
