better pic, showing more of what's there.
If his flickr doesn't get you psyched for the NW of Scotland, nothing will. Not looked at it in a while.

The Boulders and Dave Mac's Screapadale Prow are below this and round the corner. there is also a box canyon with a rare limestone flake hidden away near the top of the crag.
It's worth noting that this location is Not straightforward to get to{but still worth it}
I lived and worked on Raasay for a few seasons about 15 years ago and have been back regularly over the years to climb/snorkle/camp/walk etc. It is a true island Gem.
If you do manage to pop over make sure you stop off at Raasay Outdoor Center/Dolphin cafe for Beer/coffee. Dave Croy will also have specific info on climbs + some quality history/banter
Enjoy

Christ, is Davie still there :o
I worked on the island about 30 years ago and him and Lyn Rowe were running the outdoor centre.
I wouldn't get too excited about the boulders, a mixture of some ok but a lot are made of oatcakes. Some impressive geology though and as Rob says, well worth a visit.Not least for the distillery....
Also the summit of Dun Caan is stunning viewpoint for the Cuillin.
