About trip

Watch the sunrise from your tent atop one of the many spectacular plateaux that make up this magnificent landscape. The Quiraing was formed by an ancient landslip that is still moving, and includes a jagged 37m-high pinnacle known as The Needle, a flat expanse of short grass called The Table, and a pyramidal rocky peak that resembles a medieval keep, and is known as The Prison. 
 Parking at summit of minor road between Uig and Staffin. Walking time from vehicle: 2 mins.
