This incredible island looks like it came straight out of a fairy tale...

The Isle of Skye, which often has the appearance of a fantasy novel illustration that has come alive, is a beautiful part of Scotland. There are currently about 9,232 people living there, though the transient population of tourists swells during the busy summer months. It’s not hard to see why — who could resist the stunning scenery, with its vast emerald plains, playful rivers, rough mountains, and wild flower meadows?

Bright Side invites you on an exciting journey around the island, where you can enjoy the magic of local forests, hills, and waterfalls.
