Not in the Forecast
Weather forecasts on Skye can be rather unreliable, but when a bright sunny day was promised, we drove up to the Quiraing for the first time in a few years. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the drizzle, then rain, started not too far from home - at least much of the rain had stopped when we started our walk. I had thought we would just get up to the Prison area of the Quiraing, but my husband informed me he thought going up to the Table would be interesting - I certainly wasn't convinced, considering the dreich conditions. Getting up to the Table is a challenge (steep slog!) so I can't say I enjoyed myself, but at least the Needle (37 metres tall) looked atmospheric. I was lucky to capture a very hazy sun showing briefly through the mist, then disappeared again.
