Far far away... There's the Old Man of Storr. Not sure who gave it such name though, probably because the rock stands vertically all by itself, like a lonely old man overlooking the hill, searching for the sight of his lover.
That was the moment I get why seniors asked us to bring along a pair of good condition sports or hiking shoes if we are visiting Scotland. Scotland is a place which you interact with the nature, so expect plenty of walking and even hill climbing involved!
The first stage of the climb passed through a harvested land. Thus, it was unpleasantly muddy and we had to look out on every step we took. It looked like a deserted and destructed area, not a pretty sight. Look pass the eye sore, however, will greet you with a stunning view.

Halfway up the hill already took me half an hour to reach there, I was gasping for air. Yes, I admit I have low stamina, and I gave up climbing all the way up to The Storr while my friends decided to move on. The view here is enough to mesmerise me. Fun fact: The Storr had became one of the settings for the movie Prometheus!
See what I mean? But the dark piece of land on the right really spoilt the view...
Again with a scarf!
Model shot!
It was half an hour trip up and the same for down. We are going back to the bus, but first, let us take a selfie!
Say 'peace' with a waterfall!
Parody of a friend's famous pose! Hehe!
A kind of deserted lake, opposite of a quiet row of shops where we had our dinner...
