Neist Point is the most westerly headland on Skye. Located on the Duirinish Peninsula, it is an iconic destination, with stunning cliff scenery, a fine lighthouse & an outlook to the Outer Hebrides. In the summer months this is the best spot on Skye to watch for minke whales, basking sharks, porpoises & dolphins, As the sun sets the air is alive with the cries of roosting gannets, guillemots, razorbills & shags.

Walk down the old lighthouse steps to the most westerly point on Skye. Spectacular cliffs. Whales sometimes spotted off-shore. Limited parking.

Walk to the lighthouse, explore the cliffs (be careful!) and watch the sunset from this famous viewpoint.
