The Trotternish is a spectacular ridge located on the Isle

of Skye, Scotland. Skye is the largest and northern most island of the Inner Hebrides. The Trotternish Ridge runs for approximately twenty miles from close to Flodigarry at the northern end of Skye to the southern slopes of Pein a' Chleilb just north of Portree. Due to the amount of ascent and descent involved in traversing the ridge most people allow two days for completion.
The Trotternish Ridge escarpment is the result of a whole series of massive landslips. The section of the ridge known as the Quiraing is presently the only area which is still moving. The Quiraing makes up the eastern face of Meall na Suiramach at the northern end of the ridge. The section of road below the Quiraing requires regular repair due to these landslips. File7633.
