The Isle of Skye is A Treasure Trove of Natural Beauty and Wildlife

The Isle of Skye is a truly remarkable place, with activities and sights to suit all kinds of visitors. Explorers can experience the rugged beauty of the island’s towering sea cliffs, jagged peaks, and lush valleys. Wildlife lovers can observe some of Scotland’s most iconic species in their natural habitats – from red deer and golden eagles to otters and sea birds.

Blood And Tartan: The Dark History Behind Skye's Famous Fairy Pools

Originally known as Coire na Creiche in Gaelic, meaning "corrie of the spoils," the Fairy Pools have undergone a transformation in nomenclature over the years. Catherine MacPhee, of the Skye and Lochalsh Archive Centre, traces the shift to the 1930s when the pools were first referred to as the Fairy Pools in a tour guide. This renaming, while seemingly innocuous, has led to the erosion of the site's original identity, relegating its Gaelic heritage to obscurity.
