Fairy Pools Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Mar)
A Breathtaking Journey Through the Fairy Pools
Nestled amidst the rugged landscapes of the Isle of Skye, the Fairy Pools offer an enchanting and captivating experience that will leave you in awe. As I embarked on this journey, I couldn't help but be mesmerized by the crystal-clear turquoise waters that flowed gracefully through the magnificent natural rock formations. Lush greenery surrounds the pools, creating a picturesque setting that feels straight out of a fairytale.
The Fairy Pools provide a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the raw beauty of nature. With waterfalls cascading down into inviting plunge pools, it's hard to resist taking a refreshing dip. I found the water to be chilly but invigorating, and the feeling of swimming amidst such breathtaking scenery was truly indescribable.
During my visit, I discovered that careful footing is crucial as the terrain can be uneven and slippery, particularly during wet weather. Wearing sturdy shoes and taking your time while exploring is essential to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. Additionally, it's advisable to bring along a waterproof camera to capture the magic of this remarkable place.
As I hiked along the tranquil pathways surrounding the Fairy Pools, I felt a sense of serenity and calm wash over me. The stunning sights and sounds of nature's symphony filled my senses, transporting me to a world far away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
If you're a nature enthusiast and seek to marvel at natural wonders, the Fairy Pools on the Isle of Skye should be on your bucket list. Prepare to be captivated by the ethereal beauty that awaits you in this untouched paradise.

The Fabulous Fairy Pools!
Attraction name: The Fairy Pools
Location: Isle of Skye, Scotland
Situated only thirty minutes from Portree, the Fairy Pools consist of many small waterfalls to stop at and admire. Many people like to swim in the water…the water is fresh and clean…but COLD!
The views of the mountains at the bottom and top of the walk are fabulous. It’s worth coming for an entire day out!
A Remarkable place.

Sky Island has an epic beauty, the most famous old peak is a 37-meter-high jagged peak, and the entire island looks like a medieval dreamland. This is a place that is absolutely not enough. It is quiet, free, far away from the hustle and bustle, lakes and mountains, innocent seas and wilderness plains. The unpredictable weather adds a bit of mystery and sky to this land, King Arthur and Prometheus is here to take pictures.

Kilt Rock Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Mar)
Kilt Rock!
Attraction name: Kilt Rock
Location: Staffin, Isle of Skye
Situated just twenty minutes north of the bustling town of Portree on the Isle of Skye, this is a Scottish marvel.
Kilt Rock is a very popular waterfall that comes gushing down from the edge of a cliff. There is a beautiful new car park purposefully built on site. You don’t even need to walk far, just peer your head over the edge.
If you have a drone, even better! You can get shots of the whole cliff edge!

Kilt rock is a sea cliff in the north east of the Trotternish peninsula, because of the kilt-like shape column. The nearest town is Staffin the trails from here are around 3 kilometers 40 minutes,a 15 kilometers 15 minutes drive from Storr. Mealt falls that is 55 metres falling from 60 metres cliff to the sea. Lots of dino footprints on the sign for kids to look at. On site parking will be busy during visiting hours.

Kilt Rock - Isle of Skye, Scotland
Kilt Rock is a magnificent geological formation on the Isle of Skye, Scotland. It’s a popular tourist attraction known for its dramatic cliffs & striking resemblance to a pleated kilt, hence the name - Kilt Rock.
You can find some dinosaur printings in the area too, hence there’s a Dino Museum in Kilt Rock viewing area.
But what brings visitors here is definitely the Mealt Falls, where water plunges from the top of the cliff 90 metres directly into the sea below. It will create a mesmerising sight & an enchanting sound that echoes across the area.
Nearby, you can also find a charming small village of Staffin, where you can learn more about the history & traditions of the Isle of Skye. Kilt Rock is 16km from Portree (the main town on Skye), and I think is a must-visit during your Isle of Skye road trip.

The Kylerhea to Glenelg ferry crossing is part of the heritage, the last turnable ferry in Scotland. It serves this 800 metre 5 minutes crossing from 1934 during summer times April to mid October. The Kylerhea ferry is reached on the mainland side by a ten mile road that leaves the main A87 at Shiel bridge. The ferry ride sometimes can see wildlife like seals, dolphins, otters and sea eagles.
