Winding Road of The Quiraing

avatar
@samalive
Hiking in the Quiraing nature preserve is a guaranteed way to experience panoramic scenes of the surrounding countryside, which include amazing rock formations, deep valleys and glass-like lochs (lakes). When the fog rolls over the hills, the scene becomes almost mythical, as if it's straight out of a fantasy.
