Kilt Rock is a 300-foot tall sea cliff on the Isle of Skye. It features the Mealt Falls. There is a…read moreplatform that offers views of both the cliffs and the waterfall. Maybe I'm jaded due to all the other waterfalls I've seen, but I didn't feel as if this one was too impressive. It can only be viewed from the side. The parking lot was spacious and it cost £3 I believe. We were only there for 10 minutes or so. I'm glad it was not out of the way.

Skye has endless pretty sights, landscapes and views. Impossible to see them all on one trips. Last…read moretime around we've skipped on this waterfall, but this trip we had some time for it. There's a huge parking lot (fees apply), showing how popular this spot is. We came in the later afternoon though, plenty of space and only few visitors. A good time to visit. The ocean views are really pretty here, you can see for miles and miles. The cliff and the drop is massive. And then there's the waterfall of course, dropping over the high cliff down into the ocean. An amazing sight. Also depends a bit on how much water the waterfall carries. It's not the biggest, but probably the one with the biggest drop. There's a platform to see the fall, but still, the angle isn't great, even you put you head or phone out (don't drop it...). The best views you would definitely have from a boat. Or a drone. I'm happy though there weren't any drones....they are terribly annoying in my opinion. And loud. Still, you can get some decent views and pictures. And what your eye can catch is pretty spectacular. There are plenty of waterfalls on Skye and surely this one here is special.

After spending most of the day at the Eilean Donan Castle we felt a bit like walking and looked for…read moresome trails on the way back to the Isle of Skye. Found this Parkland here on Google Maps and stopped by. And what a wonderful suprise that was. You can access it from the A87, just before crossing to the Isle of Skye. There's a gate to keep the wildlife in, but you can open (and please also close) it yourself. Don't be fooled if you see the closed gates, you still can go in. It's a very short drive to one of the two public and free parking lots. We chose the more quiet one to the west. Only one other car on that late afternoon. From here you can choose several nice trails - some easier to spot and some are harder to see. Leading to the west and towards the water. Did that trail for a bit and then turned back, got a bit too muddy and wet. But nice and quiet. Lovely landscape. And not a soul in sight. The walked up to the viewpoint. A good numbers of picnic tables and BBQ grills. Some couples and families were here, enjoying the view and cooking some dinner on the BBQ. But still plenty of space left. Then we did two more trails, one to the northern end of the Parkland and one leading closer to town in the east. Really lovely walks - some trails are narrow though. Be prepared if you wear shorts - you'll end up with some (painless) scratches. Our Bulldog had fun as well. All the trails are pretty easy to walk on. The whole area pretty flat. A really nice suprise this parkland here. And the views from top are wonderful. Still suprising that only so little visitors seem to come here. It's great for walks, picnics. Families and dog-walkers. A great spot!

An old bridge, built in the 18th century it has a much older appearance. The bridge and landscape…read morearound it are amazing and it's easy to stop at so I highly recommend coming to see the ambiance. The reason we came wasn't for the bridge but more for the water itself. I've read many variations now but this is what I heard. A woman warrior was in a devastating battle and her daughter wept in the river. Fairies came and gave her knowledge for how to end the battle, you can check out the longer story if you want but the waters are now somehow associated with knowledge and eternal beauty. If you want to try this legend you soak your face in the water for 7 seconds and then let it air dry naturally. I tried it and even though my wife keeps saying I look the same and am not any smarter I myself feel a little different. It is cold and is somewhat refreshing and energizing to soak your face into cold water. Nearby are traditional blackhouses and a statue but I would say the main reason to stop here is the water and the bridge. Even if you don't submerge your face in the water you can take the iconic photo of the bridge being reflected into a full circle in the water

The pictures looked great…read morefrom what we saw online but little did we know it took taking a twisty one-lane road up the mountain and having to do some tricky maneuvering when people were coming the opposite way. The landscape was formed by landslides which left a lot of rock spires intact, some of the formations have foreboding names like "The Prison" and "The Needle". I'm not normally one for views with no "payoff" but I loved what we saw up here, its so spacious and grand, people look tiny and it makes you appreciate the planet more. I especially enjoyed the weather the day we went, very rare to have nice blue skies in this area. You can go for a hike on the left side and get closer to the rocks, on the left is a small hill where you can see a lot of the Horizon and catch some of the sky reflected in the bodies of water.

This time on Skye we really wanted to check out the Neist Point. Skye has so many amazing sights,…read moresometimes it's hard to choose from. But this peninsula is definitely one of the top sights for sure. The way leading here might be a challenge for some drivers. Depending on your skills, on your temper and on the time visiting. Because it's a one-lane road...for about 10 miles! But it has loads of passing points. And we arrived at around 4pm and met only little traffic. But I could image on a weekend at peak times that it's a bit more challenging. But it's a nice drive with nice views and lots of sheep on the way (and on the road). Once you parked (there's plenty) it's only a few steps until you see the spectacular peninsula, the lighthouse and the cliffs. If you want to walk to the lighthouse, then there are some steep steps at first waiting for you. Later on the path is pretty flat. We would have walked, but with our English Bulldog this was an impossible task. So we just enjoyed the several viewpoints and had some walk on the paths on top. Even though we didn't go to the Lighthouse, all the views from the top were very rewarding. It's a really amazing part of Skye, here at Land's End. The cliffs, the ocean and all the green scenery makes an impressive sight. The paths up here are flat and easy, just a bit wet and muddy, so some good shoes are recommended. Even though well visited, it didn't feel too crowded, since it's a pretty big area. I imagine at peak times though it might be more packed. But on this late afternoon it wasn't bad at all. On the way back we didn't really meet much traffic at all. Most folks were already on the way and only a handful of cars still going towards Neist Point.

This was my first bothy experience. My friend told me all about it before we headed out to it. It's…read morebasically a giant cabin or hostel out in the middle of the wilderness and its FREE. This one held about 14 people in a giant bunk bed that covered the entire back wall. The bothy also came with a kitchen area that you can cook in. It is located right off of the coast of the Isle of Skye. The ocean is literally 40 yards away. We backpacked about three miles from the parking area which is on a one lane road. While you are hiking out, you will be traveling through the pasture, so be sure to close the gates so the little sheep don't get out and keep your dog on a leash. There is a decent about of elevation gain and loss to get out here, so be sure to pack light or be prepared to get tired. The grass in this region is typical of what you will find in the highlands. I don't know much about it, but it's super wet. Once you get to the top of the hill looking down towards a lake, you will see several bothy's, but only one is open, which is the bothy on the left. Be sure to respect other people you see and leave the house to the right alone. They are very close to shutting the bothy down due to people not respecting the land. So don't be "that guy" and ruin it for others. As this is a shared space, be prepared to share sleeping space with other people. I was pretty nervous for this as my first hostel experience was a little strange, but I got super lucky! My friend and I met some people from Belgium, and Germany and all got along great. We shared stories, food, and all showed each other respect to make the day go by well. Be sure to share the same respect for others and the land, by clicking on this link below and following the rules of the bothy. http://www.mountainbothies.org.uk/usingabothy.asp

Actually we've stopped about 50m south of this viewpoint - where the parking bay is on the other side of the road, so you won't have to cross the road to get the views and some pics.

There are people sunbathing here and one can see why. The views are pretty and there aren't many visitors. At least on the late afternoon we've went. Parking at the one-lane road is quite limited, but we managed to get a spot without problems. On peak times this might be an issue though. Because it's not only a beach. There are also the dinosaur footprints to be seen. Or not....because I didn't catch them. Even though I walked along the beach over rocks and mossy stones. The tide probably wasn't right and the footprints in the water. But since we didn't come specifically for that (just a quick stop-by) I didn't mind. This beach wasn't on the list when we came to Skye the first time - since there's just so much to see and do. But this time around we made some time for a quick visit. And it was a nice spot to check out.
