In 2015 I camped alone on the Table under a full Moon. One of the weirdest nights camping ever. the Moonlight caused the rock shadows to shimmy and it appeared as if the rocks were moving. It messes with your mind. 🙂 An old Victorian saying about the Quairaing goes as follows. '' The terrors that normally walk by night, walk here by day''.
glad I didnt know that when I was up there!! lol

Just when you think Murray cannot surpass the quality of his previous video, he says hold my Scotch Egg and gives us this beauty. Absolutely gorgeous scenery and wonderful cinematography Murray. A simply breathtaking video. In fact I’m out of superlatives. As always thanks for sharing another cracker Murray. And may I also take this opportunity to wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas 🎅
thanks Tony - same to you and yours - have a great festive season :)

Sounds like there was a Raven keeping a eye on you 😁
Mr Wilkie, that landscape is amazing, I now live in the far East but my wife didn’t believe or understand how old the rock formations in Scotland are. She was amazed. Thanks Murray😮 amazing as always.
Episodes like this should be shown on TV Murray 👌
Skye is how I found you, it never fails to produce a sense of awe and amazement. Thanks again for sharing these adventures.
A superb video of geological amazing scenery....great photos of the views and again your enthusiasm has me wanting to put on my coat and rush out the door to the nearest mountain...many thanks
You'll rush out the door; without a pocket handkerchief; just as Bilbo did.
The Birds over the ridge in formation were a Murmuration of Starlings (but that was a small formation. Unusual as they mainly form at last light before descending into trees for the night
Murray, you really represent yiur country so well, you put the mainstream TV to shame, I've always wanted to see what it's like around the Quaring, and this as always is superb, great entertainment and filming.
My (now) wife and our 4 year old lad have just returned from 10 days in Skye. What a place!! We actually went to the Quirang last year when we first went to Skye. I continued the walk and reached the summit, the views are amazing as you so rightly say! We fell in love with Skye so much last year that when we went back this year, we got married on the Sligachan bridge. With a backdrop of the Sligachan Glen and the red cuillin on one side and the black on the other, couldn't be better!! Your videos are fantastic and I have found them really interesting and enjoyable to watch. All the best and keep them coming!
Cheers
James.
I’ve been up past the Needle a few times and I always joke by saying somebody should invent crampons for your bum to help with the scramble back down. I’m glad you thought it was steep too. Excellent film as always 👍👍
I know the feeling - skies for the steep grass !! I am looking forward to watching your Glen Coe and Scotland vlogs Gary (been away for last week or two and catching up now:))
Hope you and yours have a wonderful Christmas and New Year
Hard to do but I think you surpassed yourself with scenery and photos there .fantastic
Cracking place. It's a fun place to meet tourists in unsuitable shoes wanting to go up to the table. The views round the corner and heading north are spectacular. Another great entertaining video, thank you.
Loved the nods to LOTR. Have that initial quote on my FB profile 🙂 Spectacular magical place and the weather made it even more so. Good to hear more about the Quaraing. The roads indeed to go ever on.
As a big fan of Tolkien , that opening sequence was fantastic
Stunnig!!! What a place. Most places you show in your videos are superb,but this is something else. What a landscape!Awesome,thanks for posting
The flock of birds were Golden plover. They breed in large numbers in Iceland, and in lower numbers, in the Scottish mountains. In the non-breeding season, they often still hang out in upland areas, but at lower elevations than where they breed. Also common on farmland nearer the coast.
This is the most awe inspiring place I have ever seen in my life, and the crow that was travelling with you as you came round to show us the table very atmospheric indeed, ahhh Murray I would give anything to be able to climb again, and get up there and camp on the table for the night, I really felt the energy of that magnificent place, your incredible I can’t thank you enough for taking us with you and all the extra energy and care that takes, very selfless act of kindness, you have no idea, I feel very grateful to you, and I agree it’s very Lord of the rings, utterly breathtaking magical place. Old Owl 🦉 Alaya.
Awesome!... again... What an inspiration and thanks Murray for brightening a dull Leicestershire day. Can't wait for our club trip to both Skye and Knoydart next June...
Super video Murray, what a place indeed. I was there a few years ago with my daughter. It was August, of all times to go, a nightmare with people all over the place, and parking very difficult. The landscape looks so different with the new carpark. Cant wait to get back, and deffinately out of season. Aah "the tree" yes I've seen it a lot in the Photography groups. Thank you for reminding me how amazing the Quiraing is.....Alioban x
Best book ever written. Bar none. And a very suitable backdrop there Murray.
The whole area does have a magic about it, not surprising that part of Skye has been used in films etc. Thanks again for sharing 🙂
Lost for words. All I can say is brilliant in every respect. Great tip about lengthening the poles - common sense really but easily missed when presented with such views. 🏴👍😄
Followed your channel for some time. This is easily the most stunning of all the videos I've seen on the channel. Thank you so much for sharing. Truly an amazing locale.
Reminds me a bit of climbing in the Sandia Mountains of New Mexico...but far prettier.
Wonderful video Murray! Also I heard a Michael Bentine giggle 😂 I’d be giggling, what a place! Thanks so much Murray really enjoyed as always.
I did the Skye trail in October in very similar weather... I camped just below the prison in gale force winds... your vlog brings back many memories. Thanks Murray.
Hey Murray,, Really appreciate what you are doing, this is the only channel that I can watch 1+ hours video without getting bored, thanks to your story telling and video editing skills. Thanks alot 😅😅
thank you - much appreciated
Thanks for watching

Awe-inspiring place. Had a close encounter with an eagle up there. Magnificent
Hard to find the words for just how good this is Murray. Fantastic views, I was there with my family in July. You couldn’t get near it because it was so busy. Thanks for taking us on this very special adventure.
The Isle of Skye is an amazingly breathtaking dramatic beauty ! On the winds of chaos born 😁
Had a great time there also, camped and watched a lovely sunrise over Fisherfield.
There's a "sleeping Warrior" in the distance at 16:45 ! All best, Murray & thanks for all your videos.
We think that intro is the best we have seen on you tube😊🙌👏. Really set the scene for this spectacular hike, you really do expect to see a hobbit walking around every turn. The scenery on Skye is other worldly, the rock formations absolutely incredible. Thank you for bringing us this gem of a video Murray😊👏👌
Murray your enthusiasm in that video was palpital.. the prison, the needle, the table, the views around the kerrang and the prose to accompany them. Superb :) Can't wait to go to Syke again for an adventure coutesy of Scotlands Ambassador ;) thanks. ATB M ☘️ ps 🎶 was 👍
Don't forget to take us back to Skye for your original winter high peak plan, please Murray! The Quiraing is always spectacular, any time, any weather. A wonderful place and thanks as always for taking us along - cheers!
I'm gutted to see that the erosion scar up to The Needle is still in full force from the sheer foot fall. That rock is really beautiful, like crumbly basalt with pockets of crystals embedded, but it's just getting crushed to dust by visitors.
Even with the new car park this is one of the quieter attractions in Skye and I'm glad for that.
It's murder in the summer. :) Winter with a blast of clear weather is without doubt the best time to take in this place.
Wow! Amazing intro, I had goosebumps! Love the Lord of the Rings inspired theme, thank you, Murray!
Just wonderful. Thank you. That place and its light.
Stay safe
Probably like most of us, I 'did' the Storr and the Quiraing on off days and only made it as far as the classic photo opportunities. These two films of yours demonstrate your sense of curiosity and adventure that most of us lack. Fantastic documents of the Trotternish Ridge, plus your Skye Trail film from earlier with Tom Heaton are stunning. Bring it on!
2 weeks today to Skye for Hogmanay!! What an amazing video Murray! That road on the way to Sligachan when you first see the Quirang....wow!
Stunning, just bloody stunning. Thanks for sharing
Fantastic film, Murray. Many thanks.
One of the best walks outside the Cullins but every walk on Skye is wonderful even in the claggy weather.Another fantastic video Murray 😁.
Fairy Glen is worth a wonder if you have time Murray.
Superb as always Murray hope you and your family have a fantastic Christmas and all the very best for 2023 xxxx and Jerry too xxxx
same to you and yours - have a good christmas

Better than anything on TV..way better...love the driving glasses too Murray! Thanks again...
What an amazing place Buddy...thanks for showing us something different from Skye...brilliant!!
What an amazing place Murray. Very enjoyable as usually and your images were stunning. Thank you for taking us there.
Thanks Lisa - it is indeed an amazing place - cant wait to go back to Skye soon :)

Wonderful video again! I have said before, and will probably say again, but your photography is stunning. If you did a book (Murray's Mountains), you would definitely sell at least one copy.
Absolutely Fabulous… I come up from London quite a Few times throughout October-April… and this is one of the many many places I go to …. Must say I still can’t get use to the Parking charges there, although I do agree with it, it’s unreal how over I’d say the last 5 years The Highlands has exploded even out of season, I use to go up there and be the only one .. keep up your great work and channel ✌️🙏
absolutely stunning! thanks for sharing your adventures, Murray. This one is one of the best so far.
Cool one Murray ! Thanks for bringing us along.
I'm living just below the Quirang and am originally from Staffin, I really enjoyed your insights into the geology side of things as it was news to me and very interesting as a rock climber! It helps explain why the rock can be so crumbly to climb on!
I'm working on a filming project where I hope to free climb some of the iconic sites on Skye and will be beginning in the Quirang come Easter! I really loved some of your shots and so impressed with the quality of production you're managing as a one man band, great stuff!
Wow 😲 what a stunning landscape, brilliantly captured and presented , Superb Murray 👌 atb Brian 👍
thanks Brian - it is a special place :)

Hi Murray, yet another great video with a recommend for The Living Mountain by Nan Shepherd, such a classic! Hope those snickers bars are learning to coexist with the Scotch Eggs! ;)
Magnificent scenery Murray! We were in Sky for 4 days in October October 2018, it didn't stop raing for the whole time we were there. I'd love to return there one day. I'd love to see some of your images you captured. Cheers.
Skye really is a great place (even in the rain) P.S. Tune in at 7 tonight and you may see it with different weather :)
Take care and thanks for watching

With that cawing from the rook or raven it definitely lent to the Mordor vibe of that hike! It’s funny how it looks dark in poor weather in winter at 2 or 3pm, wherever you are in the U.K. Another highly enjoyable hike especially those magnificent volcanic rock formations.
Fanatics views Murray, enjoyed that!
Absolutely awesome 👍
another excellent & very informative film Murray, thank you again. 👌
Outstanding walk and landscape.
Spectacular!
The Quiraing. A special place!
Absolutely stunning thank you Murray. It really is like living in LOTR. So beautiful. Will drive up and see it for myself soon, because now I can 😁🥰
It is well worth a visit John - worth the drive :)
Take care and have a great Christmas

@@ScotlandsMountains Thank you Murray have a great Christmas too.
Excellent stuff Murray. One place I have always wanted to go ... maybe I will get there one day! Closest was a visit to Portree after an abortive attempt on the Cuillin ridge, and a few beers in the Sligachan hotel!
We (Staffin Fc) played football on the table once as a fundraiser. Perfect June weather of course .😁⚽️
Absolutely epic Murray, amazing scenery beautifully shot.
8:51 you can carry on over the top of that wee gully and go up, that’s the route I always take 🙂
Ah - I did see once up on the table that it could be done - I’ll go that way next time :) 👍
Not sure if I've commented before, but I've seen a lot of your videos and I'm subscribed to your channel, you do fantastic scenery shots and some awesome hikes, when I say some I mean all lol. Anyway what a great channel, thanks for sharing your experiences and all the views you're so lucky to be close too.
See you on your next adventure and have a merry Christmas and a happy new year 🎉 😊
Thanks Rich, have a great Christmas too

Another beautifully produced film. You need a BBC 4 series.

Unique, fantastic footage and great exploration, awesome. Ive camped amongst the Quiraing with my dogs but still have a plan to wild camp on the Table
It would certainly be a place to spend the night in a tent for sure :)
Thanks for watching and ATB for 2023
Murray
Absolutely brilliant footage Murray
That has to be one of your best Murray. 👌👌
Hello Mr Murray, great episode as always, amazing views. In this red/blue clothes you look a bit like the polish mountain rescue (GOPR)
PS. love the reference to Tolkien
10* Great video Murray. Cheers mate.
Wow great .. I should have walked further the last time I was there , I will the next time thanks to your video .. Loving your still photos 👍
Merry Christmas 😀
Thank you - festive greetings to you and yours too :)

Fantastic video, the scenery is spectacular and beautifully shown.
Another cracking wee film, Murray. A wonderful introduction to a spectacular and surreal landscape, and I really want to make time for this walk or a similar one on my next visit to Skye.
Very beautiful
That is really beautiful scenery
So much for you to absorb and enjoy.
It almost reminds me of some of the mountains in Hawaii…I’ve never been there..photos only
I’m glad the weather was nice for you and you saw the sun set!
Take care 🇨🇦❤️🎄
你的一系列作品都非常棒！不仅有美景，还有游览的细节，具有旅游指导意义。天空岛我也常去，十分欣赏那里的自然景观。Quiraing是我特别喜欢的景区，但我只游览了那里的部分区域，希望下次按照你的路线游览完整的景区。
Your series of works are amazing! Not only the beauty, but also the details of the tour， very practical tourism guidance. I have been Isle of Skye many times and enjoy the natural scenery there. Quiraing is a particular favorite of mine, but I only visited part of it and hope to follow your route to the whole area next time.
Thank you - hope yo get back to visit soon
Happy Christmas to you and yours

Great video Murray. I took the very same route a couple of years ago with my son, it's a very steep pull up past the Needle to the Table and very dodgy on the way down from the Table. The very last bit down off the Ridge also requires concentration so as to not slip as its very eroded.
Amazing landscape!
Spectacular stuff Murray! A magical place indeed.
As an almost life long fan of Tolkien's books, I appreciate your reference, although Mordor doesn't have the green of Scotland. However, that cleft you went into could have been the one where Frodo was attacked by Shelob. I've been to Scotland once and thought to visit Skye on my next trip, but I didn't think I'll be doing that walk after seeing the elevation. Your remark about getting your dog up there, made me laugh. I've been following your adventures for awhile but I don't think I've ever seen such astonishing landscape.
Fantastic views and as always a great watch ,I'll definitely be adding this hike to my list!!
The Quirang and the meringue. Table was used for a car advert, which was placed on it by helicopter.
The hang glider launch spot is right next to the car park. Haven't used in about 40 years though ☺. And you need an easterly.
Defo need to visit there Murray. Stunning place.
Its well worth a visit Kevin :) you wont be disappointed :
Happy Christmas to you and yours

@@ScotlandsMountains You too Murray. All the best. 🎅🤶🎄
Beautifull
Those birds are agents Sauron. ;-) Anyway, fascinating geology!
I think they were Julian!!lol - a spectacular site mate - have a great christams and new year when it comes round Julian
@@ScotlandsMountains You too mate. Have a wonderful time over the festive period! :-)
I have to ask…you didn’t run into any giant spiders (Shelob), did ya?
Amazingly atmospheric! You are living the best life. ATB
I was under the impression that the largest landslide in UK was Alport castles in Peak District.
Didn't realise that. One of my favourite places to hike to back in the 90s when I frequented the Peak District
@@kisilvan It's confusing,both have a claim?The wording seems significant,I think Trotternish is largest,Alport is biggest,lol?
Did you go to Alport Castles?
@@alanrobinson2229 yes I went there many times when I lived in Sheffield. Not been for nearly 20 years. Loved sitting above the castles looking down from the cliffs.
Broke my foot after a boulder rolled over it in that gully you went up
The top view of the Table has a Machu Picchu look to it.
Hi, any time schedule for the slip? Cheers for great UL.
you have to pay to park there???????????? and noone just destroys the meters? what has happend to our nation? lovely vid though thanks bro...in shock now cos of the parking
