This beautiful archipelago, where Scottish Gaelic is still spoken, is divided into the Inner and Outer Hebrides and stretches the length of Scotland's west coast. The most visited and largest of the Western Isles is the brooding Isle of Skye, a short ferry ride or bridge away from the mainland. Islay, home to prolific whisky production, is another gem. Highlights of the less visited Outer Isles include stark Lewis and the town of Stornoway, rugged Harris, with sandy beaches and tranquil Barra.

Freey to visit at any time, the Fairy Pools is magical place of outstanding natural beauty at the foot of the Cuillin mountains. The Fairy Pools is becoming increasingly popular so when you visit, please drive carefully on the single track roads, follow the parking enforcement notices and take all your litter away with you. There is a WC at the nearby Glenbrittle Campsite & Cafe along with some great coffee c/o the Cuillin Coffee Co. Thank you and we hope you enjoy your visit! N.B. The Fairy Pools carpark is owned by a separate community organisation called the Minginish Community Hall Association. The operation and maintenance of the Fairy Pools carpark has been leased to OATS and they set the parking charges:
Fell in love with Scotland. Magical fairy pool and the rain didn’t stop us from going there. If you are there, do visit the fairy pool. We bought the day tour from GetYourGuide. Had the most pleasant trip ever with Micheal and Gordon. Gordon was the best guide ever!

Great falls, path well maintained, easy walk to get to it. Not many places to park. Very easy to find.

Eas Fors Waterfall is magnificent, nestled back from the side of the road. Parking is at a premium and the waterfalls do come up quickly. They are incredibly powerful, especially after heavy rainfall. Crossing the road and going down the embankment will lead you to another pool of water with another waterfall, which I think is equal to Fairy Pools on Skye and much less touristy.

We hadn’t planned on stopping here but so glad we did! There was a lay-by with free parking and we had walked up the top but the best view is from the platform which is quite new. We stopped here between climbing the old man of storr and kilt rock, it was lovely and better than mealt falls.
