Tucked beneath the dramatic jagged peaks of the Black Cuillin mountains on Scotland’s Isle of Skye, the Fairy Pools feel like they’ve been plucked straight from a storybook. Their impossibly clear turquoise waters cascade over smooth rocks into a series of deep, inviting pools — a scene so ethereal it’s no wonder locals and visitors alike gave them their enchanting name.
The Fairy Pools sit along the Allt Coire a’ Mhadaidh (Burn of the Dog) in Glen Brittle.
If you’re planning a trip to the Scottish Highlands or Skye, add the Fairy Pools to your list!
