| Caption: | The Quiraing, looking north-east from the U-bend, Uig Road (Staffin on extreme right), Skye, Inverness-shire. |
| Description: | The Quiraing landslip is the greatest landslip in Skye and for that matter in Great Britain. It extends 7000 feet from the scarp of Meall nan Suiramach to the coast of Staffin Bay. This is a mature slip, stable for the most part, though in the north near Flodigarry where the toe of the slip is being removed by coastal erosion there is continuous though not extensive movement. Escarpment of Tertiary lavas with extensive area of landslipped masses of Tertiary volcanic material. Part of a panorama with C03900. The description is for the full panorama. |
