Fairy Pools, Isle of Skye, Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The last stop on the Island of Skye, I hiked to the Fairy Pools, which were easier than the Old Man of Storr, but both are magical places. Since I love water so much, I'd probably choose the Fairy Pools again if I could pick just one. Here, I really felt the power of the water goddess with whom I feel the most connected. It was chilly, so I didn't take a dip, but I might regret it later! #scotland #scotlandtravel #fairycore #isleofskye #scotlandtravelguide #scotlanditinerary #scotlandadventure #scotlandroadtrip #fairies #fairy Fairy Pools
