Uig travel guide

Great spot to stop from Uig over to the Quiraing...

Uig is a little town on the north of the Isle of Skye in Scotland and also one of the main ferry hubs on the island. You can get a ferry to most of the little island around this part of the world and if you have a moment to spare, you can always snap a photo like this before your ship set sail.

On the West side of Trotternish at Balnacnoc - above Uig, is the Fairy Glen – a Quirang-like landslip in miniature. The road winds around small round-topped grassy hills with lochans (ponds) in between which gives the glen an otherworldly feel.
