The islands capital Portree is approx 20 miles on the A855 through the remarkable Trotternish peninsula, the peninsula is an area of land some 20 miles long and 8 miles wide, which is famous for its spectacular geological features. The Trotternish Ridge is a 20 mile long inland cliff winding down the centre of the peninsula. Its whole length is studded with fascinating rock formations, pinnacles and pillars, the most famous of which are the Quiraing complex, between Staffin and Uig, and the Old Man of Storr, which is nearer the southern end, all this on your way to town!
