Kilt Rock waterfall.

Kilt Rock is a waterfall on the Isle of Skye in Scotland. It is located on the island's northern coast, near the village of Staffin. The waterfall is 55 metres high and drops from the top of the cliff over the Kilt Rock formations onto the rocky shore below, directly into the Atlantic Ocean.

The Kilt Rock cliffs strikingly resemble a pleated Scottish kilt. They are formed of basalt columns resting on a sandstone base. The rock formations' colours evoke a tartan pattern.

The Kilt Rock waterfall is one of the Isle of Skye's most popular tourist attractions. It can be viewed from two lookout points on the A855 road, which runs along the island's northern coast.

There is also a path near the waterfall that leads to the top of the cliff. A walk along the path offers superb views of the waterfall, the Kilt Rock cliffs and the Atlantic Ocean.

Kilt Rock waterfall is particularly beautiful in spring and summer, when the water flow is at its strongest. In winter the waterfall can be partially or completely frozen.

Here are a few facts about the Kilt Rock waterfall:

  • The waterfall was named 'Kilt Rock' by local residents because its shape resembles a Scottish kilt.
  • The Kilt Rock formations were created by volcanic activity more than 50 million years ago.
  • Kilt Rock waterfall is fed by an inland freshwater loch called Loch Mealt.
  • The waterfall is located about 15 miles north of Portree, the largest town on the Isle of Skye.
