Brendan’s Favourite Hiking Route – The Old Man of Storr

@explorewithbrendan This place truly is one of the most magical places I’ve ever been to! It’s paradise. 😍 #OldManOfStorr #FYP #Scotland #HikersOfTikTok #HikeTok #VisitScotland #IsleOfSkye #Paradise #ForYouPage ♬ Paradise – Bazzi

This is so hard to narrow down but the peak of The Storr and its Old Man on the Isle of Skye will always hold a special place in my heart. What a magical place and its even better when you can rarely get it all to yourself for a sunrise.
