Welcome to our geological theatre, reminiscent of The Lord of the Rings. The name Quiraing, the massive rock face that towers above Staffin, comes from the Norse kvi and rand and means round fold - in Gaelic Cuith-raing. Within the fold is The Table, an elevated plateau hidden amongst the pillars. It’s said that the fold was used to conceal cattle from Viking raiders. Other landmarks to look out for are The Needle, The Prison and Cnoc a’ Mhèirlich, the Hill of the Robber.

Bha tè ann às an àite, Mòr, agus nuair a bha i na seann aois, siud na facail a thuirt i agus i na seasamh air Bealach na Cuith-raing airson a’ chiad uair.

Thigibh agus coinnichibh ri muinntir ‘An Taobh Sear’ – daoine le Gàidhlig, coltach ribh fhèin. Chì sibh annasan mar seann làrach shligean a bha air a chruthachadh bho chionn 8,500 bliadhna. Agus, ann an taigh-tasgaidh Dhùghaill, chì sibh clach le cumaidhean nan tonn oirre fhàthast bho chionn 175 millean bliadhna.
