In 2015 I camped alone on the Table under a full Moon. One of the weirdest nights camping ever. the Moonlight caused the rock shadows to shimmy and it appeared as if the rocks were moving. It messes with your mind. 🙂 An old Victorian saying about the Quairaing goes as follows. '' The terrors that normally walk by night, walk here by day''.

glad I didnt know that when I was up there!! lol Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray

Just when you think Murray cannot surpass the quality of his previous video, he says hold my Scotch Egg and gives us this beauty. Absolutely gorgeous scenery and wonderful cinematography Murray. A simply breathtaking video. In fact I’m out of superlatives. As always thanks for sharing another cracker Murray. And may I also take this opportunity to wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas 🎅

Mr Wilkie, that landscape is amazing, I now live in the far East but my wife didn’t believe or understand how old the rock formations in Scotland are. She was amazed. Thanks Murray😮 amazing as always.

@wullieoutdoorsinscotland2192 Год назад

Episodes like this should be shown on TV Murray 👌

@scottaforbes Год назад

The Birds over the ridge in formation were a Murmuration of Starlings (but that was a small formation. Unusual as they mainly form at last light before descending into trees for the night

@lasker31 Год назад

Skye is how I found you, it never fails to produce a sense of awe and amazement. Thanks again for sharing these adventures.

@alasdairmacdonald6730 Год назад

Cracking place. It's a fun place to meet tourists in unsuitable shoes wanting to go up to the table. The views round the corner and heading north are spectacular. Another great entertaining video, thank you.

@jamesbarber5299 Год назад

My (now) wife and our 4 year old lad have just returned from 10 days in Skye. What a place!! We actually went to the Quirang last year when we first went to Skye. I continued the walk and reached the summit, the views are amazing as you so rightly say! We fell in love with Skye so much last year that when we went back this year, we got married on the Sligachan bridge. With a backdrop of the Sligachan Glen and the red cuillin on one side and the black on the other, couldn't be better!! Your videos are fantastic and I have found them really interesting and enjoyable to watch. All the best and keep them coming! Cheers James.

Awesome!... again... What an inspiration and thanks Murray for brightening a dull Leicestershire day. Can't wait for our club trip to both Skye and Knoydart next June...

@OldOwl2003 Год назад

This is the most awe inspiring place I have ever seen in my life, and the crow that was travelling with you as you came round to show us the table very atmospheric indeed, ahhh Murray I would give anything to be able to climb again, and get up there and camp on the table for the night, I really felt the energy of that magnificent place, your incredible I can’t thank you enough for taking us with you and all the extra energy and care that takes, very selfless act of kindness, you have no idea, I feel very grateful to you, and I agree it’s very Lord of the rings, utterly breathtaking magical place. Old Owl 🦉 Alaya.

@kisilvan Год назад

Loved the nods to LOTR. Have that initial quote on my FB profile 🙂 Spectacular magical place and the weather made it even more so. Good to hear more about the Quaraing. The roads indeed to go ever on.

@dougieranger Год назад

Best book ever written. Bar none. And a very suitable backdrop there Murray.

@oxygensun6403 Год назад

The flock of birds were Golden plover. They breed in large numbers in Iceland, and in lower numbers, in the Scottish mountains. In the non-breeding season, they often still hang out in upland areas, but at lower elevations than where they breed. Also common on farmland nearer the coast.

@alisonlyons4691 Год назад

Super video Murray, what a place indeed. I was there a few years ago with my daughter. It was August, of all times to go, a nightmare with people all over the place, and parking very difficult. The landscape looks so different with the new carpark. Cant wait to get back, and deffinately out of season. Aah "the tree" yes I've seen it a lot in the Photography groups. Thank you for reminding me how amazing the Quiraing is.....Alioban x

Lost for words. All I can say is brilliant in every respect. Great tip about lengthening the poles - common sense really but easily missed when presented with such views. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍😄

I’ve been up past the Needle a few times and I always joke by saying somebody should invent crampons for your bum to help with the scramble back down. I’m glad you thought it was steep too. Excellent film as always 👍👍

@OutandaboutwithSpencer Год назад

@andyb270267 Год назад

Probably like most of us, I 'did' the Storr and the Quiraing on off days and only made it as far as the classic photo opportunities. These two films of yours demonstrate your sense of curiosity and adventure that most of us lack. Fantastic documents of the Trotternish Ridge, plus your Skye Trail film from earlier with Tom Heaton are stunning. Bring it on!

@xirfan Год назад

Even with the new car park this is one of the quieter attractions in Skye and I'm glad for that.

@crowtheri Год назад

It's murder in the summer. :) Winter with a blast of clear weather is without doubt the best time to take in this place.

@Hopeful_Wanderer Год назад

I'm gutted to see that the erosion scar up to The Needle is still in full force from the sheer foot fall. That rock is really beautiful, like crumbly basalt with pockets of crystals embedded, but it's just getting crushed to dust by visitors.

@kennethmatheson4614 Год назад

I'm living just below the Quirang and am originally from Staffin, I really enjoyed your insights into the geology side of things as it was news to me and very interesting as a rock climber! It helps explain why the rock can be so crumbly to climb on! I'm working on a filming project where I hope to free climb some of the iconic sites on Skye and will be beginning in the Quirang come Easter! I really loved some of your shots and so impressed with the quality of production you're managing as a one man band, great stuff!

Absolutely Fabulous… I come up from London quite a Few times throughout October-April… and this is one of the many many places I go to ….

@dalriadaskillen Год назад

With that cawing from the rook or raven it definitely lent to the Mordor vibe of that hike! It’s funny how it looks dark in poor weather in winter at 2 or 3pm, wherever you are in the U.K. Another highly enjoyable hike especially those magnificent volcanic rock formations.

@johnmcsporran3090 Год назад

Great video Murray. I took the very same route a couple of years ago with my son, it's a very steep pull up past the Needle to the Table and very dodgy on the way down from the Table. The very last bit down off the Ridge also requires concentration so as to not slip as its very eroded.

@user-qc1hf8og3l Год назад

你的一系列作品都非常棒！不仅有美景，还有游览的细节，具有旅游指导意义。天空岛我也常去，十分欣赏那里的自然景观。Quiraing是我特别喜欢的景区，但我只游览了那里的部分区域，希望下次按照你的路线游览完整的景区。 Your series of works are amazing! Not only the beauty, but also the details of the tour， very practical tourism guidance. I have been Isle of Skye many times and enjoy the natural scenery there. Quiraing is a particular favorite of mine, but I only visited part of it and hope to follow your route to the whole area next time.

As an almost life long fan of Tolkien's books, I appreciate your reference, although Mordor doesn't have the green of Scotland. However, that cleft you went into could have been the one where Frodo was attacked by Shelob. I've been to Scotland once and thought to visit Skye on my next trip, but I didn't think I'll be doing that walk after seeing the elevation. Your remark about getting your dog up there, made me laugh. I've been following your adventures for awhile but I don't think I've ever seen such astonishing landscape.
