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.
