Summer Trotternish Ridge Isle Of Skye Inner Hebrides Scotland

Tour Scotland Summer travel video, with Scottish music, of the Trotternish Ridge on visit to Isle of Skye, Inner Hebrides. The Quiraing, Scottish Gaelic: A' Chuith Raing, is a landslip on the eastern face of Meall na Suiramach, the northernmost summit of Trotternish. The whole of the Trotternish Ridge escarpment was formed by a great series of landslips, the Quiraing is the only part of the slip still moving. Parts of the distinctive landscape have earned particular names. The Needle is a jagged 120 foot high landmark pinnacle, a remnant of landslipping. Northwest of it is The Table, a flat grassy area slipped down from the summit plateau, with vistas of the Torridon Hills and the mountains of Wester Ross. Southwest is the Prison, a pyramidal rocky peak.
