Located on the east coast of Skye’s Trotternish Peninsula, the striking rock formation known as Kilt Rock is a 200 foot high sea cliff. The massive columns of dolerite have the appearance of pleats in a tartan kilt. This entirely natural phenomenon is similar to the basalt rocks at Staffa near Iona. Kilt Rock is a hugely popular viewpoint and plenty of parking is available nearby. The cliffs are dangerous and visitors should take great care when viewing the rock.
