Bride’s Veil Falls tumbles down the mountainside close to the Old Man of Storr on the Isle of Skye. Fifty million years ago volcanic basalts and micro gabbro intruded across the ancient Jurassic mudstone landscape, creating resistant rock banding down the hill. Wherever streams cross the resistant rock, cascades and waterfalls are formed. Continuous splashing from the torrents can create excellent habitats for simple plant forms like mosses and liverworts to colonise.
