Fairy Glen

Fairy Glen

On the west side Trotternish Peninsula there is a picturesque Quirang-like landslip in miniature with small round-topped grassy hills and little ponds that has been called the Fairy Glen, although the rings are likely man-made in the interest of tourism. Sheep trails circle the hills. Balnacnoc, Isle of Skye, Scotland.

    Wonderful view of the Fairy Glen. Not somewhere that I've ventured when I've visited Skye.

    It does look like Fairyland. Great shot. Nice layers and I especially like the different levels on the left. That's really cool!

    With all the tourists leaving coins at different spots, being the tour guide could be very profitable. This is truly the most mystical place I've ever seen.

    It looks like a fairy wonderland. Was that some kind of theater with the concentric circles. What fairy tale that could be?

    Thanks for looking and commenting; much appreciated!

    Marc, the concentric circles are make by tour guides who want to take advantage of Celtic fairy legends.
