The Fairy Pools are a some of Skye's finest waterfalls. This series of falls cascade down from the Cuillin Hills range, the River Brittle providing the amazingly clear water which catches the light, providing some incredible colours. These pools are a real hotspot for photographers, I've even witnessed the unfortunate activity of "queuing"! The pools are surrounded by the mountain range, giving a fantastic backdrop for your photos. If you don't fancy shooting the waterfalls you could always join the braver folk and try a spot of skinny dipping in the ice cold water! Be prepared for the midges in this location, they can be a real pest. I recommend walking boots for the walk down and then up from the car park, as well as a set of wellies so that you can get into the falls. Some clambering will be involved!
The North-East Coastline of Skye is one of ridges, rocks, and cliffs. The Trotternish Ridge, created during an ancient landslide and sculptured over the eons by wind, rain and snow, is an amazing place. Featured in many feature films, often as an alien landscape, this ridge line is a spectacular location for photographs. The area in this photograph is called the Quiraing. The view is huge. Absolutely immense. It's also fairly heart stopping as you are always very close to an edge! I still need to get "the shot" from here. My 3 visits so far have all been failures due to either too much cloud or not enough. The good news is that I up for the challenge of going back!
