The Magical Fairy Pools, Glen Brittle, Isle of Skye, Scotland


If I was asked to compile a list of my top five most favourite locations to photograph in the UK, the wonderfully evocative Fairy Pools waterfalls and Glen Brittle River in general would feature without a shadow of a doubt. From the very first time you step foot on to the stony trail from the roadside opposite the free car park, you are hooked. The backdrop to the river in the distance is none other than the Black Cuillins, which tower over you at a height of over 3,200ft.

A brief thirty minute wander down and then up the trail leads you to some of the finest small waterfalls, aqua green water plunge pools and even an underwater arch the UK has to offer. The geology in this area is stunning with a million compositions of a million images to capture. The biggest challenge in photographing the Fairy Pools are the crowds that it attracts so an early start is highly advantageous.

I hope you like this image and feel free to share if you wish
