Why Fairy Pools, Isle of Skye matters
A short walk from the road below the Cuillin mountains brings you to a run of clear blue pools and small waterfalls. It is one of the most popular spots on Skye, so go early. Bring good shoes for the muddy path, and a towel if you are brave enough for a very cold swim.
Talking points
- The water is very cold.
- The Cuillin peaks form the backdrop.
- The path can be muddy.
