Footpath - Let's Do 52 - Week 11

 Ruined Tower at Fairy Glen, Isle of Skye, Scotland
I think the official name is Ewen's Castle

Fairy Glen is one of our favorite places to visit on The Isle of Skye.  It should be some kind of national monument, or historical place, but instead it's just a bit on someone's farmland there.   If you follow the road to the end, you wind up in the farmer's yard.   Sheep graze the hills there (Watch your step!).      It's getting so many visitors these days who are not careful about disturbing the space ...  that I've really seen it get more run down and tired in recent visits.    It's sad, and magical, just the same.
