Old Man of Hoy
The Old Man of Hoy is a 137Â metre (450Â ft) sea stack of red sandstone perched on a plinth of igneous basalt, close to Rackwick Bay on the west coast of the island of Hoy, in the Orkney Islands, Scotland. It is a distinctive landmark seen from the Thurso to Stromness ferry and is a famous rock climb.
