The Trotternish Ridge is a long and challenging hike with lots of ups and downs, but the views are all worth it. This one in particular as you look south from the lower slopes of Maoladh Mòr towards the imposing bulks of Cleat, Dun Dub, and Druim an Ruma as they tower over beautiful Loch Leum nu Luirginn and Loch Cleat. A simply outstanding panorama.

Hiking

The lower section of the circular trail offers a new perspective on the fascinating rock formations with every step. And you're right in the middle of it all. The upper section of the trail offers even more expansive views. Easily manageable with sturdy footwear.
A highly recommended trail!
