Trotternish

The Trotternish peninsula to the north of Portree has some of Skye’s most beautiful – and bizarre – scenery. A loop road allows a circular driving tour of the peninsula from Portree, passing through the village of Uig, where the ferry to the Outer Hebrides departs.

Beautiful light at Quiraing, Isle of Skye, Scotland.
