Isle of Skye: From Portree to Fairy Pools & Sligachan Old Bridge

First, we pass by around Dunvegan Castle and see the pretty flowers and plants in the gardens. The castle has a lot of history. Then, you can go to Claigan Coral Beach. It’s a beach with white sand that looks like coral. It’s a nice place for a walk.

Next, you can visit the famous Neist Point Lighthouse. It stands on the edge of the sea and is a good place to take pictures. If you like whisky, you can try some at the Talisker Distillery. They make the drink there and can tell you how it’s made. The Cuillin Mountains are very big and are a beautiful part of Skye. You can also go to the Fairy Pools, which are small waterfalls and pools of clear water that look like they come from a fairy tale.

Lastly, there’s an old bridge called the Sligachan Bridge. It has old stories about it. Walking over the bridge gives you great views and makes you feel like you’re part of Skye’s old stories.

Dunvegan Castle stands as a symbol of Scotland’s deep history and the legacy of Clan MacLeod. For eight centuries, its walls have housed heirlooms like the Fairy Flag and Dunvegan Cup. Beyond its interiors lie vibrant gardens such as the Rose Garden and Water Garden.

Claigan Coral Beach, is a Skye gem with unique sands and turquoise waters. With a convenient car park and a short walk, the beach unfolds as a serene paradise. Beware of farm animals on your way, and for a breathtaking view, visit during the afternoon sun.

Neist Point is one of the most famous landmarks on the Isle of Skye, renowned for its dramatic sea cliffs, iconic lighthouse, and panoramic views of the surrounding seascape. Located on the westernmost tip of the island, it offers visitors a rugged landscape where the land meets the sea, producing breathtaking sunsets and opportunities to spot various marine life.

Talisker Distillery, Isle of Skye’s oldest working distillery, welcomes visitors to savour its famous single-malt Scotch in Carbost village. Even with limited time, enjoy a “wee dram” of this liquid treasure. Nearby, the Talisker Waterfall, especially majestic after rains, offers spectacular views from Talisker Beach, where strong winds can make the cascade seem to flow upwards.

he Fairy Pools of Skye, set amidst the Black Cuillin mountains, shimmer with legends of the Clan MacLeod and fairy tales. These spring-fed pools invite adventurers and nature lovers alike. A delightful hike leads to the pristine lower pools, believed to have been frequented by fairies, and further on, the tranquil upper pools nestle in seclusion.

The Sligachan Old Bridge, characterized by its stone arches, is both a picturesque landmark and a vessel of Skye’s rich lore. Beyond its facade are tales of legendary warriors, Scathach and Cuchulainn, whose fierce battle was halted by faeries and a wise maiden.
