Folded into the 300-foot high basalt coastline of Skye are columns likened to the pleats of a kilt. Onlookers won’t only be treated to the heritage coast though. Plunging 180-feet into the ocean below, Mealt Falls offer visitors a double whammy when it comes to spectacular sights. On clear days, views can be witnessed across the sea rewarding you with panoramic vistas as far as the Isle of Lewis. Arresting scenery isn’t all to take note of at Kilt Rock. Listen closely and you’ll hear hauntingly beautiful sounds created by wind passing through small holes in the fence along the cliff’s edge.
