Kilt Rock & Mealt Falls (aerial view)

This image was taken from the Kilt Rock and Mealt Falls Viewpoint, looking onto Kilt Rock and Mealt Falls. I recommend driving to this location and then parking in the lot by the viewpoint (57.610908, -6.173002). Once you get to the viewpoint, launch your drone a couple meters out into the ocean to get a good view of the entire coastline.

During any month, you'll be able to photograph Kilt Rock and Mealt Falls. The seasons will have little to no affect on this view.

You can capture similar lighting conditions on an overcast day in the morning, midday and late afternoon. My recommendation is to arrive in the morning to avoid the crowds. When skies are clear, sunrise and sunset will provide the best light for photography.

Before flying a drone, check and follow local drone regulations and permit requirements.

When composing your shot, I think it's best to have the waterfall in the foreground and the Kilt Rock cliffs in the background to give your image great depth.

Play around with drone altitude and distance from the falls. A look down from higher up may look better than a real close up shot.

Considering using a Neutral Density or polarizer filter to help you achieve a slower shutter speed and cut all glare and reflections.

If you don't have a drone, bring along a wide-angle lens. The viewing platform offers a magnificent view even without a drone, so a wide-angle lens will allow you to photograph this view from different angles and perspectives while still being able to achieve a similar look.

Check out the stunning Trotternish Ridge and Quiraing, which are both about a 15-minute drive away from this location. Trotternish is one of the most beautiful nature preserves in the UK and Quiraing is the northernmost summit of the Trotternish, with a 6.8-km. hiking loop.
