Have you ever been to the Isle of Skye? Well, if you haven’t I recommend you consider it! Today we will be discussing the Fairy Pools and not to be mistaken with Old Man of Stoer- the Old Man of Storr.

Let us begin with the Fairy Pools! They are an array of naturally occurring waterfalls and intense blue pools, at the end of the Cullin mountains on the Isle of Skye. The habitat of the Fairy Pools consists of many species of animals, including red deer, sheep, and rabbits. There is also a great many birds such as ravens and turnstones, whom live on a rather rocky terrain. Since it is downstream from mountains the water is often cool.

Also on the Isle of Skye is the Old Man of Storr. It’s on the Trotternish Ridge and is a popular attraction featuring a beautiful trail. Bodach an Stòr or the Old Man of Storr is a 55-meter high pinnacle; all that still stands from a millions of years old volcanic neck. It should be noted not to forget to close the double height gates back as you pass through, a caution to keep deer out.

I hope you enjoyed learning of two of the many stunning places on the Isle of Skye. Now I think I’ll go pack my bags for Scotland. Care to join me?
