The Fairy Glen

Uig

The hills at Fairy Glen look like they've been folded by hand, soft and deliberate, with a serenity that feels older than memory. This pocket-sized wonderland on the Isle of Skye offers Castle Ewen's striking rock formation, grazing sheep, and stone circles left by visitors (locals quietly remove them, but they always return). It's an easy 10-minute walk with a quick steep section, perfect for soaking up views without breaking a sweat.
