Description
The Trotternish ridge from the Quiraing path, Isle of Skye, Scotland.
The landscapes on Skye are breath taking. The sight of ancient lava flows that have lifted and collapsed in a great series of landslips is truly epic. The landscape is further enhanced by the lush vegetation that clings to the contours, with ever changing colours of the mosses, grasses and heather in the dancing light and changing seasons.
The name Quiraing (“kwer-rang”) is said to derive from Old Norse 'Kví Rand', which means "Round Fold". Others say it is gaelic for “pillared enclosure”. These descriptions probably relate to a part of the landslip known as “The Table”, an elevated plateau hidden amongst tall pillars further up the trail.
