    Kilt Rock is a series of kilt-shaped basalt cliffs rising vertically from the sea to a height of approximately 35 m. They are located 1 km south of Staffin, east of the A855 on the Trotternish peninsula of Skye in Scotland.

    Between 61 and 55 million years ago there was considerable volcanic activity in this part of Scotland. Both the Cuillin in the south of Skye and this northern part of the Trotternish peninsula were formed at this time. The area was covered by molten rock, a layer of rock over 1200 m thick. The rock pillars were formed as the molten rock, slowly cooling, worked its way through the older Jurassic sandstone.
