    The Needle, as its name suggests, is a sharp needle of rock that rises 120 feet (37 m) in an awesome display of geological might. The pinnacle is one of the most well known sights in the Quiraing, an astonishing landform caused by gigantic landslides.
      The Needle is a 37-meter-tall rock pointing up like a sharp needle.
