The Fairy Glen often is left out of guide books but it is one of the most beautiful places in Skye. Travel north up the A87 towards UIG and just before the Uig Hotel on the right, turn right at the bus shelter into the road to Sheader. About 1.5 km in you come to the unusual landscape that is the Fairy Glen. Trust me you will know when you are there.

On the West side of Trotternish at Balnacnoc near Uig, is the Fairy Glen - a Quiraing-like landslip in miniature. The road winds around small round-topped grassy hills with lochans (ponds) in between which gives the glen an otherworldly feel. Skye has a long history involving the fairies, most of which is related to Dunvegan Castle & their ‘Fairy Flag’. The Fairy Glen (much like the Fairy Pools in Glenbrittle) has no real legends nor stories involving fairies that can be traced. The simple fact is that the location is unusual so it has been given the nickname Fairy Glen.

This really is a magical place, we as a family love to visit here, though in the height of the season it gets very, very busy. We love it, it is an incredible place, like the Highlands of Scotland only in miniature. Please though, don't make stone towers, or move any of the stones to make 'trails' it is magical because it is so natural, every stone folk move upsets the natural balance, it deprives beasties of their already established homes, causes soil erosion and adds to local climate change !

In Skye you can find an intruging landscape of cone shaped hills formed during a major landslide in the Fairy Glen. Parking available - small fee. Visitors are asked not to form stone circles, it's interesting enough without these additions. Follow up with a visit to Uig and the Skye Brewery.
