Fairy Pools

The Fairy Pools (Scottish Gaelic: Glumagan nan Sithichean) are a series of natural pools and waterfalls in Glen Brittle on the Isle of Skye, Scotland. They are in Coire na Creiche ("corrie of the spoils"), on the Allt Coir' a' Mhadaidh ("burn of the corrie of the wolf/dog"), at the foot of the Cuillin mountains.

The Battle of Coire na Creiche (Battle of Benquhillan) was a Scottish clan battle fought on the Isle of Skye in 1601. It was the culmination of a year of feuding between Clan MacLeod of Dunvegan and the Clan MacDonald of Sleat, that ended with a MacDonald victory in Coire na Creiche on the northern slopes of the Cuillin hills.
