Skye's Lakes and Waterfalls

Skye’s dramatic volcanic landscape features a diverse collection of freshwater lochs and coastal cascades. This list spans the island's geography, from the crystal-clear glacial basins of the Fairy Pools in Glen Brittle to the 55-meter Mealt Waterfall that plunges directly from Kilt Rock into the Sound of Raasay. Visitors can explore remote inland lochs like Coruisk, accessible by boat or hike, and roadside falls such as Eas a' Bhradain and Lealt Falls, which showcase the island's rugged geological history.
