Shoe stuck in sucky mud. The Quiraing trail, Trotternish Peninsula, Isle of Skye, Scotland, UK, Europe.

Atop the Quiraing plateau, my shoe stuck in sucky mud. The Quiraing (or Cuith-Raing in Gaelic, from Norse words meaning "round fold") is a landslip on the eastern face of Meall na Suiramach, the northernmost summit of the Trotternish Peninsula on the Isle of Skye, Scotland, United Kingdom, Europe. We hiked a muddy loop on the Quiraing, 4.5 miles with 1200 feet gain. The Trotternish Ridge escarpment was formed by a great series of landslips, of which the Quiraing portion is still moving, causing the road at its base, near Flodigarry, to require repairs each year.
