    The Quiraing, meaning ‘round fold’, is a geological formation situated at the summit of Trotternish on the Isle of Skye. It is formed by a series of landslips, some of which are still moving. Wilson's skill in rendering the tonal gradations of distance are evident in this photograph and contributed to the three-dimensional effect when viewed as a stereoscopic photograph. Wilson probably took this photograph during his photographic tours of the Western Isles in 1860 or 1861.
