Fairy Pools on the Isle of Skye 2

#shorts Skye is an amazing place to visit. It is located high up off the West coast of Scotland and I could happily live there. The seas are rich, the weather swings from perfect to extreme and the light is magical.
Added to that it's one of the best places in the UK to see the Northern Lights - it's a very special island.
The Fairy Pools are located in the Northern part of Skye and are accessed by a footpath which winds up a mile or so into the glen.
It's probably too much of a hike for mega-fat beasts but for people who haven't lost their feet through diabetes it will take around an hour or so to traverse the footpath up to where the best pools are.
A large car park has recently been built near the start of the footpath and any proceeds from parking charges go back into the local community for beneficial projects - they are listed on the sign near the parking payment meter.
When local projects are possible from parking charges I don't mind paying them. It was either £5 or £6 to park there ..... I can't remember but as long as the charge wasn't going to the centralized government I was good with it.
We were very lucky with the weather and in early April we had 2 perfect sunny days. The days we traveled to and from Skye it was dull and colder so we timed it well.
