Isle of Skye: Talisker Bay and Waterfall.

Isle of Skye: Talisker Bay and Waterfall. The northern side of Talisker Bay is dominated by towering cliffs and a waterfall that cascades down into the sea, especially impressive after heavy rain. On the southern side, a prominent sea stack adds to the bay's dramatic scenery, framing the view in a way that feels secluded and otherworldly. Despite its remote location, the bay attracts visitors seeking solitude and breathtaking coastal scenery, making it a peaceful retreat for those exploring the Isle of Skye. The short walk to Talisker Bay, through farmland and along a river, is an added attraction, enhancing the sense of adventure and discovery.
