We've been very lucky this summer in crossing two items off
our bucket list: firstly, we visited St Kilda and then this weekend we walked
to the cliff tops close to the Old Man of Hoy. An amazing example of coastal
erosion, the impressive sea stack stands 449ft tall and although 250 years old,
faces an uncertain future as the waves continue to assault the friable, red
sandstone. Called the "Old Man", the stack once had two legs and
apparently looks like a human when viewed from certain angles but we were
clearly in the wrong location to visualise that!
