| Description: | The Quiraing landslip and The Needle, Trotternish peninsula, Skye, Inverness-shire. The escarpment of Tertiary lavas and landslip. Grassed-over scree slopes can be seen in the foreground. This whole mass of rock is one of the five major sequential blocks separated by glide-planes of rotational shear. The Quiraing landslip is on the whole now stable though due to erosion at the toe of the landslip there are still occasional small movements. |
