Kilt Rock and Mealt Falls, Skye

Kilt Rocked (named as the rock resembles a pleated kilt)
It is said that selkies can sometimes be heard singing at Kilt Rock, on the Isle of Skye.  The singing is often heard carried on the wind from the edge of the cliff overlooking Mealt Falls. Others might argue that the sound is actually produced as the wind travels through the hollow piping, which safeguards visitors to the sight from plunging over the edge of the cliffs!

You can hear my recording of the 'silkies' here and judge for yourself:



On our visit to the Falls, we were blessed with a cool looking rainbow that plunged directly into the sea!


Look carefully and you can see my shadow on the rocks :)
