Running
The Quiraing was formed by the massive Trotternish landslip, creating this unusual and fascinating stepped terrain. There are lower and higher level trails to run and explore the area.
It's very popular but, as a runner, you'll quickly leave most of the tourist photographers behind. The areas closest to the car parks are likely to be busy.

Running
A wonderfully beautiful route through the Quiraing Mountains in which even a path is visible (the following kilometers of the Skye Trail are rather pathless and lead the runner across meadows, bogs and maximum leached footprints.
Back over the Meal na Suiramach, the route can also be run beautifully as a circuit.
