Spectacular rock formation in Scotland

Message from Tartan Viking

Kilt Rock is an impressive, unique geological formation located on the Inner Hebridean Isle of Skye off the coast of Scotland. It stands 90 meters tall and resembles a pleated kilt because of the basalt columns throughout its layered sandstone base. When viewed with the accompaniment of a strong wind, the sound is entrancing as it whistles through the surrounding fencing just like a musical instrument. Not far away from Kilt Rock is the Mealt Falls, which cascades down from the top of the cliffs to the shore below and gives the area a tranquil atmosphere. On clear days, one can even spot the Isle of Lewis and mainland Scotland from the Trotternish Peninsula viewpoint. Kilt Rock is a must-see when visiting this beautiful part of Scotland!
