Air 3 The Quirang, Trottrnish Peninsula, Skye - October 2023 - 4K DJI AIR3

The iconic Quirang on Skye, in unseasonably beautiful weather!

We were blessed with amazing weather during our Skye trip last week, and took full advatage! The Quirang is a landlsip on the Trotternish Peninsula that is still moving an inch a year towards the sea. Filled with amazing rock formations and with far reaching views to Lewis and Harris and over the mainland, and given the amazing visibility we could see for miles and miles...

TOAL was in the hills below, just outside the SSSI, but as the SSSI is for geology you can safely fly, although watch out for the Golden Eagles, we had 3 circling close by at one point...

Lol, thanks... shh, people may think I have some power over the weather - couldnt be further from the truth, we have just been lucky - and flown at every opportunity! We did have 1 day on Skye, 2 days in Drumnadrochit and 2 days on Orkney that we couldnt fly for the rain, and we have chanced it with the wind a few times - but I am not complaining - I really thought that Skye and Lewis/Harris would be real problems in October, but thankfully I was proven wrong

A great place to visit, which will be all the more savoured for the anticipation and effort to do so... For us its a 9 hour drive, which in the UK is an extremely .long way, but thaty drive takes in soo much beauty that it is overwhelming...
