Story Behind The Lens

Jack captured this panorama a couple of years back after a long night, having first visited Neist Point in the evening. To get the best light for The Quiraing at sunrise, he had to make an early start and forgo a lot of sleep. Sunrise on the east side of the island provides stunning light and fewer crowds compared to the more popular sunset views.

170 million year old dinosaur footprints have been found in this area on the Trotternish Ridge, with the Quiraing itself formed by a huge landslide 2 km wide, the largest mass movement slide in Britain. The slides occurred after the weight of overflowing lava put too much pressure on the weaker Jurassic sedimentary rocks underneath.

Though The Quiraing is a well-known location, the early morning hours offer a quieter experience with only a few people around, allowing for a more peaceful appreciation of the scenery. The photograph shows the dramatic landscape of The Quiraing with the hills north of Applecross and the Torridon Hills visible in the background. The village of Staffin can be seen below to the right, with a striking path leading up through the rugged terrain. If you don’t mind an early wake up, experiencing sunrises at these popular spots are always a great way to see something spectacular while missing the crowds!
