United Kingdom Neist Point Lighthouse, Skye

An iconic location on the beautiful Isle of Skye. A lonely lighthouse, a rocky coastline, and just pure Scottish highland gold. You'll love it here! Neist Point is one of the most famous lighthouses in Scotland and can be found on the westerly tip of Skye near the township of Glendale.

Photography Tips

From the path, you will see stunning views of the high cliffs and the lighthouse itself, At sunset the view is made even more spectacular making this a top destination for landscape photographers.
First things first: it was windy when I was there. A sturdy tripod is a must especially when using long focal lengths like in this image. Bring some time as there are so many great spots that are spread across the longest. The southern coastline offers a nice and different view of the lighthouse with really massive rocks. I will add another spot shortly for the exact location.

Travel Information

I marked the parking lot that is quite close to the area with all its lovely spots. Since this is a well-known area in Skye the parking line can become rather long. There's a bit of hiking involved to get to the best spots. From the parking lot down to the longuet you'll have to pass a long stairway. This can be exhausting when you're done and going back to your car. Tip: Plan some time for returning to the car and leave early. I had to rest 2 times for a minute to come to breathe again (it was windy and cold!).

Fantastic spot. Word to the wise...avoid during times of high wind! The access is very exposed and the steps down have a handrail that leaves a lot to be desired!
