Diverted off the Quiraing loop, 5 minutes across boggy grass to reach summit. Poor visibility on day.

Up from the busy carpark, but no-one else near the summit, so able to appreciate the superb views in peace. Fortunately after a damp start the weather had cleared,

Approached from SSW. Ample parking by road at NG439679, first thing in the morning only. The parking situation any time after 09:00 is carnage once the masses tourists arrive throughout the day. Curved beeline route north gradually turning northeast. Started on the tourist path but soon diverted up the steep slope to the left. As the gradient becomes less further up, the bogginess increases. Open grazing top. Stone built pillar in good condition. Spider centre open. Spider leg perpendicular to NNW edge, compass measurement 344°. Vented through SW and NW sight holes. Full 360° panoramic view.

Log #365. Got to the top car park early to ensure a space, then followed tourist path initially before breaking north to follow sheep track up Maoladh Mor. Enjoyable cliff-side ascent to cairn, then cloud forced to take a bearing and beeline for the trig. Good condition stone-built pillar, with cap missing. Carefully retraced steps to cairn, then followed track north to Fir Bhreugach. Quick hop over stile then brilliant walk south to the Quirang. No further ascents for me, content simply to follow tourist path between the huge formations. Very busy after that point, and the small scramble at NG443684 was quite slipperly. No issues though, and enjoyable walk back to the burger van for some breakfast. [ExP-253/MiP-32/Rev-3/BM-25/IS-34/Other-18]

Arrived in Skye late afternoon to visit my son (lucky him living and working here!) and as such a stunningly beautiful evening had to go walking. Took the circular walk over the shoulder of Maolach Mor, overlooking the Quiraing and onto the summit cairn of Meall na Suiramach (Hill of the Maiden). Trig point 250 metres inland on a flat summit but with stunning views east to the mainland, south to the Cuillins and onto the Outer islands. Trig built on stone with no cap, plug or facebracket. First stone built trig. Returned by the lower path to see the Quiraing close up.

Visited while revising guidebook to Isle of Skye, on my last day of four weeks on Skye. As pointed out by someone else...the correct name is Meall na Suiramach, not 'Quiraing'.

Above the Quirang, the OS dont always name their survey sites after the hill. Plug missing, otherwise stone built and in good shape.

Why is this one always called "Quiraing"? It is on Meall na Suiramach - close to, but well above the Quiraing.

No FB present, nor any sign that it ever had one. Couldn't tell for sure, as the pillar is made from stones, rather than moulded concrete.
