The name of Scotland simultaneously brings in mind the image of bagpipes being played by men wearing Scottish kilts. Scotland is the land of unique beauty. People who can appreciate the beauty of pristine nature blended with a sense of melancholia will truly enjoy Scotland. Among numerous places to visit in Scotland, Fairy Pools at the Isle of Skye is a beautiful blue & crystal clear pool on the river Brittle.
It is situated at the foothills of the Black Cuillins near Glenbrittle. Visitors all over the world are enticed to come here for its amazing scenic beauty. It offers “Wild Swimming” for those brave hearts who dare to swim inside the chilling waters. There is an exciting opportunity for photography for less adventurous visitors as the place is gifted with fantastic scenic beauty.
On the west of Skye is Carbost, the nearest village to the Pools. You can reach to the Pools by walking along the road to Glenbrittle. You can reach to the first main waterfall that marks the beginning of the Pools by covering 2.4 Kms that takes you about 40 mins. Most of the visitors take time to explore different pools along up the river from the 1st waterfall.
This place is ideal to visit in the dry seasons as rainy days make the place slippery & dangerous to trek.
Parking facility is available at the gravel car park area established by the Forestry Commission. You can reach to the first & the largest waterfall in about 20 mins. from the car parking area.
Enjoy the breathtaking scenic beauty of the Fairy Pools & hear the quiet music of nature. This place is worth visiting at least once in lifetime.
