I was here for hiking. Enjoying several walks a day up and down the coast.
Best was sunset over the Atlantic.
No colour correction.
I uploaded video clips to the Vizard.ai web page. Here’s the edit it created including music. Not bad.
Their free-plan includes the small translucent “Made with Vizard Agent” mark in the top-right corner. I tried Microsoft Clipchamp as well, but it didn’t work for me.
The Old Man of Storr is a 55-metre-high basalt rock pinnacle standing dramatically on the Trotternish Ridge of the Isle of Skye in Scotland.
Created by an ancient, massive landslide, this striking geological landmark sits roughly 7 miles north of Portree and is the most popular hiking attraction on the entire island.

Easy and inexpensive bus access from Portree keeps this short day hike busy. In fact, all 300,000 visitors / year seemed to be out on the rare sunny day I was there. 😀
Portree, Isle of Skye
Distance: 3.8 km (2.4 miles) round trip.
Time: Approximately 1.5 to 2 hours.
Difficulty: Moderate. The gravel trail is well-maintained but climbs steeply, gaining about 205 metres (700 feet) of elevation.
Terrain: Mostly firm gravel paths and pitched stone steps. The final stretches up near the “Sanctuary” (the base of the spires) can become muddy, rocky, and slippery, so sturdy footwear and the balance of a mountain goat are recommended
Aim to arrive before 8:00 AM or later in the evening to secure a parking space and enjoy a quieter hike
Several buses a day can get you here
Here’s the start.
And here’s Storr, the main attraction.
Of course there are many more spires, some even more striking.
There are a number of viewpoints.
Follow the sheep along the roped off trail …
… or hop the rope and enjoy equally fantastic scenery on your own.
I had lunch and enjoyed the sunshine for about an hour without seeing any other people. I had plenty of time, waiting on the bus to my next hike.
A fantastic place.
Though it was a sunny day, we had some sun showers.
Highly recommended if you get to remote Isle of Skye.
I’d posted an A.I. modified image of myself — aged by the Scottish highlands. 😀
Most critical, for me with bunions, is having oversized shoes with a wide toe box. Especially for the downhill sections. I tighten up at the ankle. But have plenty of space up front so I can’t jam the toes.
Mine look somewhat like a clown shoe.

On my recent Balkan Trails hike, we had about 1000m of vertical every day for a week.
My feet were perfect up and down wearing clown shoes. Many in tighter hiking boots suffered.
This section is widely considered the most rugged, wild, and dramatic stretch of England’s entire 630-mile South West Coast Path.
About 41 miles (66 km) across the remote West Penwith Peninsula, this point-to-point hike features steep cliff-top climbs, historical tin mining ruins, and sweeping Atlantic panoramas.
