The Quiraing

A landslip landscape of leaning pinnacles and hidden plateaus above Staffin Bay, known simply by its features: the Prison, the Table, the Needle. The path runs narrow and exposed in places with real drops, so it rewards a calm, dry day over a windy one.

Why go

A landslip landscape of leaning pinnacles and hidden plateaus above Staffin Bay, known simply by its features: the Prison, the Table, the Needle. The path runs narrow and exposed in places with real drops, so it rewards a calm, dry day over a windy one.

Iconic landslip landscape walk, heavily visited but robust path; single-track road access can be congested.

Getting there & in

Quiraing car park at the top of the pass (small, often full in summer).

Path along the escarpment from the car park.
