Neist Point is a beautiful place to visit on the Isle of Skye in Scotland. It has a lighthouse that was built in 1909 and is a popular spot for whale watching and birdwatching12. You can walk down to the lighthouse on a concrete path that is steep at times, but offers stunning views of the cliffs and the sea. You might also see some stone cairns that people have built along the way. Neist Point is about 10.5 miles from Dunvegan and 31 miles from Portree by car.

Hiking

This is simply one of the top places in Scotland that any decent photographer must visit in their lifetime. The views out towards Neist Point and the lighthouse from here are super beautiful, and the photos are taken at sunrise or sunset here. There are so many places to go and see here too; every location gives you a different angle or perspective. It is a powerful place for the soul, simply magical, and if you are here in the sun, then that is a huge bonus.
