A touch of magic. The Fairy Glen, Skye

This lush landscape in the hills above the village of Uig on the Isle of Skye has a name to match its fantastical appearance. With its stepped, conical hills, buttes, lochans (ponds) and copses of gnarled trees, the Fairy Glen is an otherworldly valley created by a series of small landslides. Here on Trotternish, the most northerly peninsula on Skye, the whole landscape is a labyrinth of steep slopes, plateaus and dramatic rock formations, thanks to an ancient landslip which runs for nearly 20 miles.
