Neist Point houses one of the most famous lighthouses in Scotland. It is the most westerly tip of Skye and provides exceptional views out to sea. It's regarded a great place for wildlife watching, with sightings of whales, dolphins, porpoises and basking sharks regularly recorded.

Hiking

The steep paved and stepped footpath down to the headland from the car park. Most of the descent has a handrail but it can be a bit slippery when wet and its quite hard work coming back up.
