The sliding landscape of Skye
As the sun rises on the Isle of Skye, off Scotland’s west coast, it casts a golden glow on a landscape shaped by lava flows, erosion, and glacial movement. An ancient landslip here runs for nearly 32 kilometres, creating a labyrinth of steep slopes, hidden plateaus, and dramatic rock formations.

The Quiraing’s sweeping panoramas make it a favourite with photographers and walkers, while various movies including ‘Transformers: The Last Knight’ and ‘47 Ronin’ have also featured scenes from this fantastical landscape.
