Tour Scotland travel video, with Scottish music, of the Old Man of Stoer sea stack on visit to the coast and waters of the North West Scottish Highlands. The stack is composed of Torridonian sandstone, and is 200 feet high. It is in The Minch, a strait in north west Scotland, separating the north west Highlands and the northern Inner Hebrides from Lewis and Harris in the Outer Hebrides. The seas around the Old Man of Stoer have claimed a number of vessels. There is believed to be the wreck of a fishing boat in the vicinity of the stack, which sank on 17 February 1953. The Old Man of Stoer is popular with climbers due to its height and approachability. It was first climbed in 1966 by Brian Henderson, Paul Nunn, Tom Patey, and Brian Robertson. Along with Am Buachaille and the Old Man of Hoy, it has become something of a legend among climbers
