"Much-needed" work at one of Scotland's most iconic and popular sites has been completed ahead of the summer holiday season.
The Fairy Pools on the Isle of Skye have undergone a "makeover" following an increase in tourists to the island. In recent years, the rising number of visitors has taken a toll on the natural environment surrounding the pools.
The damage around to site led to concerns for visitors' safety, prompting environmental charity Outdoor Access Trust for Scotland (OATS) to kickstart a project with the creation of a "necessary" car park to accommodate as many as 180,000 visitors annually. Through collaboration with and funding from the Skye Iconic Sites Project (SISP), they have also repaired and improved the pathways on route.
