This place is not widely publicised at the tourist outlets and it's best kept that way. We we the only visitors to explore it and this helped it retain some of its magical quality. It's currently sitting as no 1 rated attraction on Skye which is a bit of an exaggeration given the majestic Skye scenery and walks. My teenagers... more

My other half told me about faerie glen after reading reviews and we decided to visit the place on our trip to Isle of Skye early April 2009. Popping the free tourist CD we got from the hotel we were staying at that had the most lovely bagpipe-y tune on it into the player of the car, we drove up... more

We went her on the advice of the hotel we stayed at and we must say it was worth it a very strange but beautiful place almost mystical in a way you could imagine some of the stories being true about the faires. The film STARDUST with robert de niro used the fairy glen for some of the witches scenes... more

I recently visited Faerie Glen while doing a three day tour of the Highlands and the Isle of Skye with Wild In Scotland (great tour by the way).

Fairy Glen was on our list of must-see places and it was well worth the detour. As stated, the road is not well marked but it is right beside Captain Fraser's Folly (also worth a look). Up a wicked little road that gave this American driver pause, we found an enchanted area including a tiny lake, green hillocks, daffodils in... more

I saw the mention of Faerie Glen on trip advisor before our trip to Scotland in August 2003. Nearly missed it though! -- not well marked from the main road (it is minutes away from Uig - just 'round the bend) The glen was beautiful beyond compare. We felt like we dropped into Tolkien's world of the hobbits! In the... more

My husband and I visited this tiny place on the advice of some other web pages I found online. It was like stepping into a page of Tolken. The glen was gorgeous and literally made me hit the brakes once I turned the corner. It was very hilly, covered in heather and moss and you swear you'd seeing sprites and... more

Wow!
