They are described as 'a natural waterfall phenomenon. The vivid blues and greens of the pools suggest an unnatural origin. They are a popular place for wild swimmers.'
From the large car park, walk approx 1.5 miles (2.5km) up a wide and well established track. The path is bordered with grass, heather, peat and rocks.

Drinks & Nightlife
The Sligachan pub is famous for its simple but friendly layout, welcoming mountaineers fresh (or rather exhausted) from completing the famous but gruelling Cuillin Ridge. It is a place for mountaineers, wet dogs and hearty food, so don't expect fine dining. However, if you want to have a point and soak up the atmosphere, the pub regularly has live music during the summer months.
