Isle of Skye

The Fairy Glen

Uig, Portree IV51 9YG, United Kingdom

The Fairy Glen is so named not because of any specific fairy stories or myths linked to the landscape, but simply because it looks like a place where magic is possible. The glen’s lush hills, trickling waterfalls, hidden caves and, of course, unique rock formations make for enchanting views and are a relatively quick stop, only taking around half an hour to walk.
