The Quiraing including the Prison

From journal Cuillins coast and Prison

This is one of the two mountain walks which I can recommend in North Skye if you can get yourself to leave the Cuillins for a short time. Any distant view of this looks pretty boring but it is well the effort and the struggle up steep grass slopes for the amazing shapes of the rock structures which are hidden from distant views. The Prison is an area on the way up with formidable overhangs all around it and the Needle visible from it. Still higher is the Table, an area of grass as short as on the green of a golf course surrounded by some of the weirdest rock scenery in the UK.

The other walk of the two mentioned is a bit further South to the mighty pinnacle called the 'Old Man of Storr' not to be confused with the seastack in the Orkneys called the 'Old Man of Stoer' which is relatively often shown on climbing programmes.
