This glorious lighthouse was built in 1870 and sits in the stunning, remote landscape of the Stoer Peninsula. It's a fairly squat beacon, but stands on high cliffs and is still in use today. Thanks to the sheer drama of its setting, the lighthouse attracts thousands of visitors each year and its keepers' cottages now serve as holiday homes. From here, you can follow the coast north to reach the Old Man of Stoer sea stack.

In the evening, the light is fantastic, about 3 hours before sunset.

Considering that the path there is supposed to be "family-friendly", it went pretty close to the cliffs...
After wet weather, you're sure to get wet feet if you don't wear suitable shoes.
