Skye has endless pretty sights, landscapes and views. Impossible to see them all on one trips. Last…read moretime around we've skipped on this waterfall, but this trip we had some time for it. There's a huge parking lot (fees apply), showing how popular this spot is. We came in the later afternoon though, plenty of space and only few visitors. A good time to visit. The ocean views are really pretty here, you can see for miles and miles. The cliff and the drop is massive. And then there's the waterfall of course, dropping over the high cliff down into the ocean. An amazing sight. Also depends a bit on how much water the waterfall carries. It's not the biggest, but probably the one with the biggest drop. There's a platform to see the fall, but still, the angle isn't great, even you put you head or phone out (don't drop it...). The best views you would definitely have from a boat. Or a drone. I'm happy though there weren't any drones....they are terribly annoying in my opinion. And loud. Still, you can get some decent views and pictures. And what your eye can catch is pretty spectacular. There are plenty of waterfalls on Skye and surely this one here is special.

Kilt Rock and Mealt Falls are located on the Isle of Skye and share a viewpoint and parking area. I…read moream separating my reviews by medium (solid, liquid, gas), this review is for the solid, Kilt Rock. The rock consists of two easily observable structural units. On top is the vertical pillars formed as lava cooled following its ascent to the surface above the pre-existing land. Beneath this vertically structure "Kilt Rock", so named as the vertical columns form a texture similar to the pleats of a kilt, are roughly horizontal layers of sandstone rock. As a geologist who specializes in mineralogy and volcanology and was on a Scotland heritage travel trip when I visited on Sunday 14 July in 2019, I could not be more pleased to see a rock reminiscent both of the heritage/textiles of my ancestry and volcanology. A beautiful natural rhyme.
