Description:

The photographer posted this photo on June 19, 2020.

Google Map to “The Fairy Glen, Highland Skye, UK.” At the parking coordinates above, you will find a small pullout off the side of the narrow road, large enough to fit two cars. There are several other small spots to park off the side of the road near this one, but no lot. Because parking is so limited, some reviewers suggest parking in the town of Uig just to the west—a 15- to 30-minute walk to Fairy Glen.

Once you are parked, walk up the hill for 5-10 minutes towards the large rock in the photo. You’ll be able to see it from the road. The photo coordinates above will get you pretty close to the photo location. There are small pathways in the area worn into the grass from years of pedestrian traffic, but you will have free reign to wander all around the area as you wish.
