The title of this highlight should give it away 😂 I would not recommend it but unfortunately it can’t be avoided if you want to experience the beautiful views from the ridge top.

Hiking

The path which traverses the top of the Quiraing is full of boggy patches, most can be avoided, but waterproof hiking shoes and/or gators will help.

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 additional, expansive views. Easily manageable with sturdy footwear.
A highly recommended trail!
