Trotternish or Tròndairnis (Scottish Gaelic) is the northernmost peninsula of the Isle of Skye, in Scotland. Its most northerly point, Rubha Hùinis, is the most northerly point of Skye. One of the peninsula's better-known features is the Trotternish landslip, a massive landslide that runs almost the full length of the peninsula, some 30 kilometres (20 miles). The landslip contains two of Skye's most famous landmarks: the Old Man of Storr, an isolated rocky pinnacle, and the Quiraing, an area of dramatic and unusual rock formations. The summit of The Storr, on whose slopes the Old Man of Storr is located, is the highest point of the peninsula. The north-eastern part of the peninsula around Quiraing is designated as a National Scenic Area and the entire landslip is a Special Area of Conserva

The north-eastern part of the peninsula around Quiraing is designated as a National Scenic Area and the entire landslip is a Special Area of Conservation. Dinosaur footprints have been found at An Corran, which is also a Mesolithic hunter-gatherer site dating to the 7th millennium BC. The ruins of the 14th–15th-century Duntulm Castle stand at the northern end of the peninsula. The three major settlements on Trotternish are Portree, generally regarded as the capital of Skye, Uig, a ferry terminus, and Staffin. Trotternish is the strongest Gaelic-speaking area of Skye. (en)

La sua più famosa caratteristica è costituita dalla Trotternish landslip, una enorme faglia geologica che corre per tutta la lunghezza della penisola, circa 30 km. La faglia contiene due dei più famose attrazioni dell'isola di Skye: l'Old Man of Storr, un picco roccioso isolato, e la Quiraing, un'area diformazioni rocciose singolari. La sommità dell'Old Man of Storr costituisce il punto più elevato della penisola. Il punto più settentrionale della penisola di Trotternish, Rubha Hùinis, è anche il punto più a Nord dell'intera isola di Skye.
