    Incredible Natural Rock Structure
    Even though it was raining and very overcast, we were still able to view Kilt Rock. The cliffs at the lookout are breathtaking, and the Kilt Rock is called that due to the striations in the rock. There is a walkout over the sea, and on a clear day you can see much more. It was definitely worth taking a look at getting a few photos.

    Great rocks! Annoying drones.
    Beautiful new car park since our last visit many years ago. It was early morning and so it was fairly quiet. Didn't see anyone else pay to park. (£3 for up to 2 hours). The rock are quite stunning and the waterfall is special. Various sea birds were flying about. Only 4/5 as 2 people turn up with drones which were flown randomly where ever they felt like doing. One definitely frighted on of the birds. One stayed in his van to fly the drone....well with a camera on you don't even have to walk to see the rock!

    Very Beautiful
    We were so glad to be able to see Kilt Rock. It was awesome. The views were amazing and the weather was perfect when we visited. We were able to take a lot of pictures. The only thing was some people would linger around trying to take selfies for way longer than they should. It was a little crowded.

    Aptly Named and Worth a Stop
    Yet another stop as you wind your way around Skye. About every 6 miles or so, there will be a parking area that allows you access to another spectacular formation or cliff along Skye’s coast. Kilt Rock has a couple of observation platforms that assist with the view (and your safety). You can see Sheildaig and Applecross across the water.

Kilt Rock was a wonderful place to visit in Scotland. The view is simply breathtaking and you can see the endless ocean far away. One's can only imagine living nearby.

However it was extremely windy and cold as hell. the guide told us that the weather changes a lot anytime every time. so you have to be prepared for this if you want to enjoy the lovely view.
Will recommend.

The view of the ocean, cliffs and waterfall is very stunning and does make a good picture, but this site in general was underwhelming for us. It's basically a crowded parking lot where they want you to pay 2 pounds for a quick photo. There is no trail or area to explore which I hadn't expected. If you are driving right by it is easy to divert in and see the falls, but if we had missed this site on Skye we would have been okay with that.

Without a guide, we would have never thought of going here.
The height of the falls and the vastness of the views is wonderful.
It was wet and windy, but it did not detract from the views or experience.
The sound of the wind as it went through the fence added an eeriness feeling.

The photos online, taken from the sea, are really spectacular but the reality of the place is, it's a parking lot FULL of buses, shuttles and cars, with an observation deck giving a very slight, side-view of the falls. My family had a good laugh and we were back in the car in five or ten minutes. Luckily it wasn't our of our way at all, the parking lot only a minor annoyance (thanks to the bus drivers who seem to be equally as annoyed by tourists in rental cars.)

Amazing car park. Seen some reviews about small car park, this had a make over in May 2023 and is now a good sized car park and a very good price.
Amazing view of kilt rock and waterfall.

On the A87 north of Portree, another worthwhile stop while exploring Skye. Parking for about 20-30 cars at most, just off the main road, there are no other facilities at this attraction. Looking north past the small waterfall there are plenty of opportunities to view the Kilt Rock and the views south are lovely too. Worth stopping for the great scenery.

Turn up in a non descript car park to a very acute view of a mediocre waterfall. If you’re passing then stop for 5 mins for a photo.

Bunch of tech geeks buzzing about with drones if you love the hum of a man child’s play thing when COD isn’t available then this is the place for you.

Has a good platform for viewing the Sea but you’re on Skye. The Sea is everywhere and there’s better places. Go to Neist point.

In its favour it’s wheelchair accessible.

As we head towards Uig, to see the old man stork, we didn't expect an amazing spot in the area. Must have been 3 or 4 lovely falls and picturesque views. We have been blessed with the blue sky weather too and seeing this Kilt Rock and Mealt Falls had added highlights on our little trip to Isle of Skye. On this site you can also watch dolphin !

This was a very quick stop, but I appreciated that because our time on the Island was very limited. A quick walk from the parking lot and you can see this beautiful waterfall! It was easy to find. I found it quite crowded (and we were on the shoulder season), but there was no need for people to spend a long time there so with a little patience, you can get a great pic.

This was a fantastic place to visit to see the stunning views. However, despite the views, the one thing this place lacks is security or a guard on site.
You've got tourists coming to visit the site and then urinating on the walk path. Families are there visiting and that is the one thing that let's it down.
