Fairy Glen is a mythical place. A number of cone-shaped grassy knolls are clustered in a small area, interspersed with hollows and stone spiral pathways that were laid by ancient worshipers. The landscape was shaped by landslides. The paths are indistinct but no route is necessary as visitors wander in between the mounds. 'Castle Ewen', a rocky tower, is the highest point and requires some scrambling to reach the top. The summit provides the best view of the area. Faerie Glen is 1.5 km from the Uig Hotel, the nearest bus stop.
