Great walk with lovely views.

The short circular walk at Staffin on the Isle of Skye was the first ever featured on Walkhighlands, back when we set up what was then the website in 2006. It heads over the hill to the slipway, visiting the dinosaur fossil beach and offers great views to the Quiraing.
