During our stop, you’ll have time to admire the panoramic views, take photographs and appreciate one of the most breathtaking locations in the Scottish Highlands.

Kilt Rock

  • 10m
We also stop at Kilt Rock, where towering basalt cliffs resemble the pleats of a kilt and create one of Skye’s most distinctive coastal landmarks. From the viewpoint, you can enjoy spectacular sea views and watch Mealt Falls cascade over the cliff edge into the Sound of Raasay below.
