Beautiful and dramatic and a place to try and see if you’re in Skye.

Hiking
The Quiraing on the Isle of Skye is a spectacular landscape of rugged rocks, steep slopes, and green plateaus on the Trotternish Peninsula. It was formed by massive landslides that are still active today, constantly changing the shape of the landscape.
The area is known for distinctive formations such as The Needle, The Prison, and The Table. The Quiraing offers some of Scotland's most impressive views and is a popular destination for hikers and photographers. Its dramatic scenery gives it an almost mystical atmosphere.

From here, the gaze escapes from the Quiraing towards Loch Cleat, the bay of Staffin and the sea. The curious thing about this small lake is its position: it is wedged between the slopes of Trotternish, a short distance from the coast but separated from the sea. On clear days, from this point you can even distinguish Staffin Island and, much further away, the mountains of the Scottish continental coast. A good place to stop and look out of the Quiraing: the spectacle is not just behind you.
