Photos of the Quiraing, Isle of Skye, Highland

About the Quiraing

The Quiraing is a stunning geological landscape in the north of the Isle of Skye, on the Trotternish peninsula. It offers some of the best known scenery on Skye thanks to its Jurassic-like resemblance. The best views are from The Fortress looking back along the path towards the hills resembling dinosaur backs.
