    Easy Beauty
    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.

    Pretty!
    This spot is pretty too! We were greeted with a bagpiper, so that made it memorable. It's hard to see the waterfall, especially with many people crowding around, and extra especially if you're a tiny human (my kids), but this was another good and quick stop to stretch our legs and take in some beauty!

    A good chance for a photo
    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.

    Fantastic views.
    There is a reasonably new car park here now, its pay and display. When we got there the weather was just perfect. There was a very little breeze, and the sea was a beautiful blue colour as still as a mill pond. What topped it for us was the Piper playing the Bagpipes, for me this made my day. We even managed to glimpse a pod of dolphins swimming by. There wasn't much of a waterfall seeing as the weather had been fairly dry.

    Amazing car park
    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.

    Good for a very short stop off
    I stopped here while driving through the area. Given there's a new car park, and one that charges, I thought there'd be more here, e.g. trails, but once you've seen the falls (which are spectacular), that's it...time to move on. Quite touristy, and pricey for how long you might visit!

This is a small stop where you can see the beautiful ocean with Scotlands rough coast, containing a beauty of a water fall. This stop takes around 5 minutes.

Perfectly magical. A huge parking lot and be sure to pay for parking. Day was lovely and it matched the description and photos we viewed online.

The most accessible thing we've seen. The waterfall and rock are right by the carpark. Parking was 2 pounds but freshly paved and mostly empty. The basalt formations were very interesting the way they fell into the water.

Kilt Rick is a beautiful waterfall in rock that juts out from the rock face and looks like the pleats on a tartan kilt !
On a sunny day if the angle of the sun is just right , you can see colours through the water ..

What a shame that the car park was closed as the surface was being relaid, couldn't half of it have been done so we could park, then do the other half. Had to climb a fence some way off to see the rock in the distance, but the waterfall was around the other side so couldn't see it. Not as if we can pop back another day!!
