Kilt Rock!
Attraction name: Kilt Rock
Location: Staffin, Isle of Skye
Situated just twenty minutes north of the bustling town of Portree on the Isle of Skye, this is a Scottish marvel.
Kilt Rock is a very popular waterfall that comes gushing down from the edge of a cliff. There is a beautiful new car park purposefully built on site. You don’t even need to walk far, just peer your head over the edge.
If you have a drone, even better! You can get shots of the whole cliff edge!

Kilt Rock - Isle of Skye, Scotland
Kilt Rock is a magnificent geological formation on the Isle of Skye, Scotland. It’s a popular tourist attraction known for its dramatic cliffs & striking resemblance to a pleated kilt, hence the name - Kilt Rock.
You can find some dinosaur printings in the area too, hence there’s a Dino Museum in Kilt Rock viewing area.
But what brings visitors here is definitely the Mealt Falls, where water plunges from the top of the cliff 90 metres directly into the sea below. It will create a mesmerising sight & an enchanting sound that echoes across the area.
Nearby, you can also find a charming small village of Staffin, where you can learn more about the history & traditions of the Isle of Skye. Kilt Rock is 16km from Portree (the main town on Skye), and I think is a must-visit during your Isle of Skye road trip.
