Scotland's pristine Isle of Skye is expecting 1,000,000 visitors this year. Conservationists wonder if the island can handle such volume.

The Fairy Glen, Scotland

This lush landscape in the hills above the village of Uig, on the Isle of Skye in Scotland, 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 more than 30 kilometres.

The Fairy Glen is like a miniature version of the much larger Quiraing landslip further up the peninsula and is a popular spot with photographers. These days, the concentric circles and spirals of stones you see here are a bit controversial. They are considered a nuisance created by tourists, and locals will remove them, preferring to keep the glen as nature intended. The flat basalt-topped hill in the middle of our image is known as Castle Ewan, for reasons unknown. It is not a ruined castle, but does offer great all-round views of this magical place, sculpted by landslides, glacial movement and erosion (or as a bridge between our world and the fairy world, depending on what you believe).

Scotland Fix of the Day: With summer coming a Scottish travel plans in the making here's a nudge towards thinking farther afield. Consider the wild (and less trampled) realms of Harris and Lewis, islands of the Outer Hebrides where you really can get away from the crowds, with beaches like you'll find at Seilebost and Luskentyre, or explore the rugged realms of the west coast of Lewis around Uig (the blowing beach grass) or Mangersta (the broad beach at sunset.) It'll take a bit more preparation (a ferry out and back, fewer accomodations) but the adventure quotient is much higher. (And while you are there consider a far flung chance to get to St. Kilda.) #scotland #highlands #outlander #scotlandtrip #scotlandtravel #epic_landscape #highlands #bestofscotland #hiddenscotland #scotland_highlights #ig_scotland #visitscotland #scotlandgreatshots #scotland_greatshots #igersscotland #unlimitedscotland #thescottishcollective #simplyscotland #moodyscotland #scotlanddreams #outerhebridescollective — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/NL3QvOi
