The island is dubbed the 'fairy world' with enchanting terrain masterpieces

Seen from above, Skye has the shape of a lobster. However, its name "Skye" has nothing to do with shrimp or fish but means "slit".

Across the 1656 km ^{2 area} of Skye, the most remote island in the north of Scotland is paralyzed with deep trenches, steep, high walls like mazes. Listening to the main rumor due to the difficult terrain, it was difficult to find this way but in the olden days, the residents here easily escaped, hiding the cattle, escaping from the scourge, looting Viking pirates.

Low but extremely steep and long

Compared to sea level, Skye is not too high. Even at the "skyscraper" position, its peak Sgùrr Alasdair is still below 1000m, only 993m. But most of the slopes are very steep and long. To conquer only one of them, you have lost all day walking.

In return for hard work, Skye bestowed the enchanting natural landscape. With a population density of only 6.4 people / km2 and most residents concentrated in the Portree harbor capital, the island is still wild.

Skye is bestowed with a beautiful natural landscape.

Across Skye is a lush green mountain, clear water and rock. Thanks to the mild ocean climate, it only ranges from negative 6.5C - 26.7C, the vegetation flourishes strongly. Based on these advantages, Skye is famous all over the world as the best walking island on the planet.

Quiraing Plateau: Great masterpiece of "landslide artisan"

In Skye's stunning low mountain system, the most impressive is the Quiraing Plateau located on the Trotternish Ridge peninsula. Although Quiraing's altitude only falls about 543m above sea level, it is still enough to make visitors want to "slouch" their pillows.

Standing on Quiraing, spread out the vision is the vast cliffs, dunes undulating alternating small lakes. They were formed after large landslides in Trotternish Ridge.

Right now, Quiraing's underground is still unstable, potentially looming. However, it is also here that landslides are not only natural disasters but also act as masters. It reveals high walls, deep valleys, wide lakes and towering peaks.

Immediately after the landslide, the plants intertwined with all the gaps and grew up, turning Quiraing into a giant green carpet, a place with pleats, a twist, even as a fold.

A little bit away, "landslide artisan" also put a perfect millimeter artifact is Old Man of Storr (Storr's old man). It was a massive stone of 49m high, shaped exactly like an old man sitting. People here said that the rock was the fossil of the giant who once lived on Trotternish Ridge.

Something to approach Old Man of Storr is relatively strenuous. You will have to cross the endless long mountain ridge above 700m above sea level, Sound of Rasaay, then continue to climb over the meandering grass mounds. But the scenery on the way is great, having been chosen to film some famous movies, such as The Wicker Man (1973), Prometheus (2012), Snow White and the Huntsman (2012).

Fairy Pools: The world of beautiful fairy lakes

Crossing Glen Brittle forest and heading to the foot of the longest Cuillin mountain range Skye, before your eyes will be a beautiful world like a fairy. The stream is clear over the rapids, in turn pouring into a series of deep water holes. People call these water holes Fairy Lake (Fairy Pool).

There are many Fairy Lake at the foot of Mount Cuillin . They also include many sizes, designs and all are in the bottom.

However, forget the swimming or bathing, because the water here is so cold. Although Skye sometimes reaches 26.7 degrees Celsius, most of the time of the year is cold. The average heat background of this island is 6.5 degrees C. The water in the Fairy Lakes is no different from ice.

Of course, if you still want, Fairy Pools would like to invite. It seems that the water here is only cold and fresh.

Fairy Glen: Hills cluster blooms and mysterious poetic rocks

The most unique thing about Skye is that she also owns a "miniature Skye" called Fairy Glen. With a variety of natural landscapes, ranging from spectacular stone floors to beautiful lakes, green hills and magnificent waterfalls . this area is the same as Skye in Skye.

This area is like a small Skye in Skye's heart.

On sunny days, Fairy Glen shows off the ground full of grass and vitality, dotted with bunches of colorful wildflowers. On the smooth, green background, there are small beautiful spiral stones, making the space more mythical.

There are some things that are not natural, but because tourists are inspired by stone artists in the surrounding area. Although they look great with the landscape, they are . frustrating for the local residents.

Except for the wasteland, Fairy Glen has mastered pieces, used to graze cattle. The tangle of twisted stones is full of artistic qualities . only the leg and pet entanglements.

Lastly, Kilt Rock: Rock walls naturally sound

From the top of the wall, a stream of white waterfall poured down, creating a spectacular, magnificent scenery.

Leaving Trotternish to Inner Hebrides, Skye's offshore island group, in front of you will be the 90-meter high Kilt Rock cliff that surrounds a small island. From the top of the wall, a stream of white waterfall poured down, creating a spectacular, magnificent scenery.

To ensure safety, people close the fence rail at the attractions on the edge of Kilt Rock. Interestingly, the stakes are also cut holes like flute instruments. Whenever there is a strong wind coming from the ocean, they make a sound.

Of course, the sound from these "pickaxe" trees does not follow any rhythm. But when combined with the sound of falls, they seem to blend in extremely, creating a perfect eloquent chord.
