This refers to a 9th century princess who fell in love with a shipwrecked sailor from a different clan. Fearful of the repercussions of their liaison, the princess is said to have hidden their baby in this cave. The cave was also reported to have been visited by Sir Walter Scott in 1814 who described the cave’s cathedral like interior, covered with calcite luminous ‘spars’ in his poem ‘The Lord of the Isles’.

Majestic Quiraing https://www.isleofskyepaintcompany.co.uk/product/majestic-quiraing/ https://www.isleofskyepaintcompany.co.uk/product/majestic-quiraing/#respond Wed, 25 Jan 2017 12:27:43 +0000 http://www.isleofskyepaintcompany.co.uk/product/majestic-quiraing/ The Quiraing is awesome. It is supernatural. It is a place of wonder and amazement. It is outstanding by any measure. If you are fit enough to walk the narrow path and scramble up and down the steep slopes – you must do it. To visit Skye without experiencing the Quiraing seems unthinkable.

Go on a bright and clear day for views of the Outer Hebrides and the Scottish mainland, framed by the pinnacles, cliffs and great buttresses.

Go on a wet and windy day to feel your spine tingle as the clouds and mist swirl around you in this unreal and menacing landscape.

Whatever the weather, you’ll not forget the experience.
