The most beautiful natural sites to discover Hebrides

The Old Man of Storr is a unique rock formation located 7 miles north of Portree, via the A855, on the Trotternish Peninsula. It rises among other rocks more than 50 metres above the ground. Legend has it that Storr's old man was a giant who lived here. When he lay on the ridge at the hour of his last breath, his thumb remained raised. The Storr refers to the group of rocks that surround the old man. It is a title derived from a Nordic word meaning "great man". The path leading to the site from the roadside parking lot represents approximately 3.8 km round trip. Allow 1 hour and 15 minutes of walking, without the inevitable breaks to admire the landscape and take pictures. The site is very popular... and very popular.

The Carsaig arches, located near the town of Craignure on the Isle of Mull, are an impressive natural site. This coastal walk offers spectacular views of the arches from the sea, but is quite challenging due to the rocky terrain and some narrow sections prone to landslides. We recommend following the rocky shoreline to avoid the most dangerous parts. Extreme caution is required if you wish to visit the second arch. The trail is accessible from a parking lot just above the Carsaig quay. The hike takes around 5-6 hours and covers a distance of 13.25 km. There is no public transport to the starting point. Carsaig's arches also provide a habitat for seabirds, and seals can often be seen in the water. It's important to note that visiting the second arch requires mountain hiking experience, great caution and favorable weather conditions.

The mountain once stood at 15 000 feet. It overlooks, the Wilderness, a radically wild land that crosses a unique path along the coast. Approximately 6 km west of Tiroran House hotel, trees have fossilized in basalt. To see them, wait the low tide and get off the iron staircase. The most spectacular road in the north-east of the island (B 8073) descends from Dervaig to the south and joins the coast near Kilninian, where semi-precious stones can still be found. Very little known, because it is difficult to access, this part of the island offers stunning views of the Treshnish, about Na Keal and on the sea arm to the beautiful beauty of the inhabitants.
