Wanderscapes's video: Quiraing - a land that still moves Amazing Scotland Vlog 92

In this episode of Amazing Scotland Series, we take you to Quiraing, one of the rarest places in the world which still moves. If you are new here and haven't watched the previous videos of the series, you can watch them here https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJbJXozXoLTApAtxRC96gMG40X455bCSx After visiting Mealt Falls, we were headed to Quiraing, which is beautiful landscape with its unique charm. Situated in the north of Skye, this geologically active area is a part of the Trotternish Mountain ranges. People visit the place to enjoy its stunning landscapes and to walk along the winding paths and ridges. Walking along the path is a popular activity here. The start of the walk can be accessed from either of the villages of Staffin or Uig, which are joined by a single track road. Weather Quiraing is not suitable in all weather conditions. There are some high cliffs along the path and it becomes extremely dangerous when the conditions are windy (it can be super duper windy out there!) and foggy (low visibility). Make sure you are dressed to meet the weather conditions. Walk The walk itself is not very difficult. The entire setting is beautiful that you would want to go on and on. It does get a bit tricky after sometime as you'll have to navigate some tricky paths along the way, but the views are worth the effort. If you plan to walk the whole loop, you will need 2-3 hours minimum. Even if you are short on time, you should at least walk as far as you can because the views are awesome. If you don't do that, you'll go home and regret it forever... As you walk ahead, you can seen the high cliff faces and the 'Prison' and if you are a photographer, this place might feel like heaven. The landscape is so beautiful that you'll find excellent frames everywhere. Spend some time taking in the beauty and rejuvenate yourself. Unique features The entire Trotternish Ridge was formed by a great series of landslips. However, Quiraing is still moving - in fact, it is the only part of the slip still moving. Every year it is said to move 2-3 cm, necessitating annual road repairs in the region. In the olden days, the locals used to hide their cattle in the area, especially during Viking raids. The place has a unique charm befitting the beautiful landscape. Our verdict Definitely a must see and do! However, come prepared to battle the weather - especially the wind. It can literally blow you off! Of course, the rain can be a spoilsport. We were lucky that it didn't rain while we were out there walking. We were a bit underprepared, so can't blame the weather too...
