Kilt Rock and Mealt Falls

ON THE INNER HEBRIDEAN ISLE OF SKYE are two spectacular sights, both visible from the same observation point on the Trotternish Peninsula. One of these is the magnificent 90 meter Kilt Rock, which looks strikingly similar to a pleated kilt. Made up of basalt columns resting on a sandstone base, one might even say that the colors of the rock formation appear almost tartan. The other point of interest is the Mealt waterfall, which, fed from nearby Mealt Loch, plummets from the top of the cliffs to the rock-laden coast below.
