Fairy Pools

The Fairy Pools are a series of small waterfalls and clear turquoise plunge pools at the foot of the Black Cuillin mountains near Glenbrittle on the Isle of Skye. Fed by burns descending from the Cuillin ridge, the pools take their vivid colour from the clarity of the water over pale rock. A well-worn path from the car park at Glenbrittle follows the burn upstream, with the largest and deepest pools located furthest from the road.
