Why Neist Point matters

At the far western tip of Skye, a path leads down a grassy headland to a lighthouse perched above the sea. It is a wonderful place to watch the sun set over the Atlantic, and to look for whales and seabirds. The road there is single-track, so drive carefully and allow plenty of time.

Talking points

  • The lighthouse sits on a narrow headland.
  • Sunsets are spectacular.
  • The drive is on single-track roads.
