Neist Point Lighthouse, Category B listed lighthouse in Highland, Scotland.
The white lighthouse tower rises 19 meters above the westernmost point of Skye, featuring a black lantern and an ochre horizontal stripe beneath the gallery.
Engineer David Alan Stevenson designed and constructed the lighthouse in 1909 at a cost of 4,350 pounds, with an additional 1,518 pounds for the optical system.
The Northern Lighthouse Board maintains this maritime structure, which stands as an example of Scottish coastal engineering and navigation safety infrastructure.
Visitors can reach the lighthouse via a 1200-meter path from the main parking area, which accommodates 200 vehicles at Waterstein road terminus.
The location offers opportunities to observe nesting kittiwakes, gannets, and shags along the coastal cliffs, with possibilities to spot whales in The Minch waters.

the end of the world, so to speak ... 😁😁😁😁 but access is very difficult in my opinion if there are a lot of people ... it is better to prioritize early or late timings but for me, it's worth doing
