Helicopter support was called in to assist with path improvement works at one of the most popular sites on the Isle of Skye.
The Fairy Pools are among the most visited spots on the island, consisting of rock pools of translucent mountain spring water. These aquamarine pools are fed by a series of waterfalls from the Cuillin Mountains.
As the surrounding habitat has "suffered damage" by intense tourist footfall, one of the main objectives of the ongoing work is to encourage visitors to stay on the paths. This will be achieved by making them easier to walk on and therefore more accessible.
