A visit to the Old Man of Hoy in Orkney 

Being a Hoy, im looking forward to visiting my heritage of where we came from, assuming Norway to hear and to United States, all the very best, health and happiness.

Anyone else remember the televised climbing of the old man of Hoy, and we sat and watched it. No wonder I’m scared of heights. It must have been in the 60s.

Nicely filmed. Love the bird footage at the start. Great drone footage. Beat wishes on the next. First time watching. New subscriber.

'Personally I'm quite content to admire the Old Man from near the cliff edge.' So are we Kate, so are we! 😊

Remember doing a school field trip to the old man by boat from school on Gramsey in the late 60s. Please visit Orkney to soak in all the unique history of the many islands and the fantastic people living there. I was fortunate to visit many sites with my late father whilst living in Orkney. Treasured memories..

I was a few times as near I could get with my car with my mother and her friend (me being in my sixtees and they in their eightees. Impressive view!

I went there on my own 2 years ago and had a magical experience

Sorry, but the cliffs were formed from the worldwide flood that happened 4500 years ago.
