My personal fascination with columnar basalt, waterfalls, waterfalls that enter bodies of water, and waterfalls associated with columnar basalt all converge here in Scotland.

I wonder if anyone has tried to take an aerial or from-the-water shot of these falls?

That “little” white fence right near the edge would be surprising hard to make: the rock and earth are sloping very steeply there - so footing is treacherous; and if you fall, there’s nothing to stop you from going over the edge.
