Fairy Pools | Isle of Skye, Scottish Highlands, 2014
We spent a long weekend on the Isle of Skye, enjoying some of the Scottish Highland’s most beautiful scenery. The weather was against us for much of the trip, providing drab, overcast conditions mosts of the time. Additionally, it was very windy (I write that in italics as, as a result of the wind, we hiked with a slant most of the time 😀 ), which combined with heavy, sideways (fairly normal in Scotland!) rain, proved tiring while hiking. We did several hikes which we thoroughly enjoyed though, including this hike around the Fairy Pools in Glen Brittle, near the west coast of Skye. At the end of the hike, we were drenched almost from head to toes – there was so much water in one of the rivers we couldn’t avoid but step right into it in order to cross it -, but luckily I was able to keep the camera dry and capture some pictures of several of the stunning waterfalls in the area.
