Mealt Falls & Kilt Rock. Trotternish, Isle of Skye Scotland, UK, Europe.

Mealt Falls plunges 60 m into the Sound of Raasay, on the Isle of Skye, Scotland, United Kingdom, Europe. In the background is Kilt Rock. Between 61 and 55 million years ago, volcanic activity on the west coast of Scotland covered the northern half of Skye in layers of molten rock over 1200m thick. The pleats of Kilt Rock formed as molten rock squeezed between layers of Jurassic sandstone rocks then cooled slowly and shrank into striking polygonal columns. Enjoy this viewpoint along the A855 road 15 km north of Portree (2 km south of Staffin), on the Trotternish Peninsula, on Skye, the largest and northernmost of the major islands in the Inner Hebrides. This image was stitched from several overlapping photos.
