The C1225 is the famous Quiraing Road on Skye. It runs across the Trotternish Peninsula from the ferry port of Uig to Staffin on the east coast, passing the famous rock formations at The Quiraing above Staffin. The road below the Quiraing is a popular route in itself, with a couple of switchback bends to negotiate, cliumbing up from Staffin to the car park at the top. To the west, the road is much gentler, climbing slowly from the junction on the A855 above Uig, and running over open moorland.
