Quiraing

Quiraing, Highland, Scotland

6.47 KM

This is the Quiraing Hill Circuit, a 6.4 km loop that includes the Prison and Needle. The walk was busy for the first short section, but after that we virtually had the place to ourselves. The views were absolutely stunning throughout the walk, but especially good on the return leg.
