The unique basalt rock formations, often shrouded in swirling mist, have been an attraction for visitors for many years. The cliffs, landslips and fantastical pinnacles are the result of volcanic action and centuries of weathering, creating the strange geological formations known as The Needle, The Prison and The Table, the latter a high green plateau enclosed by looming rock PLACENAME: Quiraing DISTRICT: Skye OLD COUNTY/PARISH: INVERNESS: Kilmuir CREATOR (AV): J Valentine & Co.
