Geo of the Light, Orkney Islands

The Old Man of Hoy

Uploader's Comments

This tremendous sea stack was first climbed and filmed on TV, I think, in the 1960's. It is situated on the opposite side of the island from where the ferry lands and you can get a mini bus taxi to cross the island to save quite a long walk. The views of the "Old Man" are spectacular from any angle.
