Glen Brittle, Mountain valley at Isle of Skye, Scotland

The River Brittle flows through this valley, extending from the Black Cuillin mountains to Loch Brittle at the southern end of Isle of Skye.

The valley's name originates from Norse settlers who called it Bred Dal, meaning broad valley, before the Scottish Gaelic word gleann was added.

The Glen Brittle Memorial Hut, constructed in 1965, functions as a shelter for mountaineers and honors those who found strength in these mountains.

A single-track road from Carbost leads to the glen, where visitors find the Glenbrittle Campsite offering 120 spots near the beach.

The Fairy Pools along the glen consist of a sequence of clear water basins and waterfalls flowing from the Cuillin Hills.

Location: Highland
