The Old Man of Hoy is a sea stack that lies just off the island of Hoy in the Orkney Isles. I spent a fabulous week in Orkney two years ago, but the highlight was the day I got a boat to Hoy from the mainland to walk over some of the hills to the north of the island before descending to the awesome cliffs of St. John's Head and from there down to the Old Man that gained notoriety when it was climbed for the first time on national television in 1967.
