The geology of northern Scotland is most interesting. The whole of the Trotternish Ridge (Isle of Skye) escarpment was formed by a great series of landslips; the Quiraing is the only part of the slip still moving, the road at its base near Flodigarry requires repairs each year.
We climbed to the Quiraing.... and got this view....
