    Tips

    December 7, 2023

    Glen Brittle is dominated on its eastern side by the Black Cuillin, Britain's youngest and most formidable mountain range. Many of the area's finest hikes begin in the glen, whether it's an easy amble to the famous Fairy Pools or a daring scramble to some of the Cuillin's summits. The Glenbrittle youth hostel is a great accommodation option and has a drying room, which is pretty important on Skye.

      The parking costs 5 pounds (May 2019).

        Too little attention in the fairy pool tours is given to this great wide "golden" landscape, which definitely contributes to the overall impression. Here you can also read a book more quietly;)
