See the Fairy Pools on the Isle of Skye

“It is extremely rare that the weather will put me off a walk but when I pulled up in the car park for Fairy Pools I could have cried the rain was coming down sideways and my car was rocking so violently I was starting to get motion sickness. Not sure whether or not I should do the walk (safety first) I decided to wait it out in my car for an hour. An hour passed and the weather hadn’t changed so I decided I would brave it to the horror of the lovely people working in the car park ticket hut.”

“On the morning of Monday, August 15th, I got in a wee red bus in Portree and left for the Fairy Pools. A wonderful-ish experience lay ahead. The “wonderful” part is a result of the fact that the Fairy Pools are one of the most beautiful places on Isle of Skye. Think crystal clear pools with sky-capped mountains in the background. The “ish” part comes from the fact that I lost my favourite gold bracelet (a dear gift from my husband), shattered my iPhone in pieces and jammed my finger in the tripod, all in one day.”
