Nestled on a treeless headland facing southwest, Neist Point Lighthouse marks the westernmost tip of the Isle of Skye. On the other hand, Neist Point is an ideal place to experience sunsets in the Inner Hebrides. Neist Point Lighthouse is one of the best known lighthouses in Scotland and, with good reason, is popular with landscape photographers and tourists alike. Due to the southwestern orientation of the headland, it is optimally positioned for sunsets with a view of the lighthouse and the Atlantic Ocean beyond. You will experience loneliness and pure landscape here, if you move a bit off the beaten track.

A must to go see, on a summers evening is the best time, the sunset is phenomenal. It's a steady walk down from the car park, just remember it's uphill on the way back :)

Viewpoint and location of the Neist Point Lighthouse on the Isle of Skye. The lighthouse itself is a bit rundown and cannot be entered, but the views are spectacular, and whales and dolphins can be spotted from here. The walk requires a lot of stamina. Great views also at sunset.
