Quiraing

Quiraing loop from the top of the pass The Quiraing is a landslip that is still moving, and this loop on the Trotternish Ridge takes you through its maze of towering cliffs and rock stacks. The full circuit is about 6.8 km and takes two to three hours from the pay-and-display parking lot at the top of the pass, which fills early in summer. Short as it is, it asks for some nerve: the path is narrow in places, with steep drops and a couple of tricky sections, and it turns boggy after rain. Save it for a clear, calm day and wear boots.
