Skye has been transformed, a glorious Indian Summer of a day has lifted the clouds and mist, accentuating the colours of the heather, bracken and leaves just on the turn. We visited the strange landforms of the Fairy Glen which we eventually discovered up the road to Sheader and Balnaknock which leaves the A 87 by the Uig Hotel. The name is a disservice to this extraordinary little glen, a miniature Quiraing filled with strange landforms created by a series of landslips and subsequent glaciation.
