The Old Man of Hoy in Orkney is a rock pillar that from certain angles is said to resemble a standing man. Queen Victoria's Rock on the Isle of Barra is a rock formation near Northbay on the north side of the A888, looking toward the west, which resembles the profile of the elderly Queen Victoria. The Winking Man Rock formation (also known as the Winking Eye) is part of the Ramshaw Rocks section of The Roaches. It looks like a face sticking out of the hillside, and as you travel past in a car towards Buxton the 'eye' appears to wink, as a pinnacle of rock passes behind the face as a consequence of parallax. A public house near Ramshaw Rocks at Upper Hulme takes its name from the Winking Man rock. The Sleeping Warrior is the profile of the peaks of the island of Arran.
