Paul Murton experiences island life. In the northernmost spur of Skye - the Trotternish Peninsula - he visits the Old Man of Storr.

In this episode Paul heads to the northernmost spur of Skye - the stunningly beautiful Trotternish Peninsula. The Isle of Skye is an intoxicating mix of all that is great about Scotland's islands, and the dramatic landscape of the north embraces everything from lava-twisted rocks to stunning waterfalls. 

Paul begins his adventure at one of the star attractions of this part of the island, the Old Man of Storr, and his journey takes him on journey of discovery following in the footsteps of the dinosaurs who once walked this land, through the enchanted fairy glen and out to the seldom-visited Fladda-Chuain islands.
