Situated on a
sweeping bay, this picturesque fishing village
is surrounded by the splendid scenery of the
Trotternish peninsula and lies close to the
Quirang, an area of strange rock formations
and pinnacles.
One of its most notable
features is The Needle, a 120ft pinnacle. The
160ft black basalt column known as the Old Man
of Storr lies south on the road to Portree. The bay is famous for its dinosaur
footprints and has yielded numerous dinosaur
fossils, some of which can be seen at the
community-run Staffin Museum.
