Hiking
Neist Point is an iconic destination on the most westerly headland on Skye. It has stunning clifftop scenery, a lighthouse that has been in operation since 1909, and fine views out to the Outdoor Hebrides. This is a great location, just west of the car park, to get an overall view of the whole coastline with its clifftop setting all the way towards the lighthouse itself.
