Hiking

The Fairy Pools are a series of different sized, natural water pools, which are connected by a small stream and small waterfalls. The clear and cold water flows down from the mountainous landscape of the Black Cuillin. When we started it was still cloudy, but in the end the water rushed like in the waterfalls, but from the very top.

Hiking

To escape the tourist rush hours, it is worthwhile to visit the Fairy Pools early in the morning or in the evening. This has the advantage of enjoying extraordinary light. But beware, even the midges are then more likely to be found.

Hiking

Fantastic walk, with great views, can be a short stroll or long hike depending on what you prefer, as others have all said better to go first thing in the morning or last thing at night to avoid the hustle. I suggest parking at the top of the hill in the overflow as more or less every time I have been the bottom car park is full. Well worth a visit, keep an eye out for the under water arch way.
