Tragedy at the Fairy Pools
The Fairy Pools are a natural waterfall phenomenon in Glen Brittle on the Isle of Skye.
The pools are a 20-minute walk from the car park at Glen Brittle.
The path to the pools has recently been upgraded, in part due to the high volume of visitors to the area, but it remains a dirt track without easy access for vehicles.
Skye Mountain Rescue team were called to the incident, having already been called out twice on Wednesday, only completing their second rescue mission at 2am on Thursday morning.
