drove to neist point after dunvegan castle gardens on 13.6.2017…

really wonderful walk enjoying the beautiful breathtaking scenery….

the carpark for neist point is located at very end of the single track road about 30mins from Dunvegan Castle..

tiny carpark was full & we parked like many cars by the roadside.

the path leads all the way to the lighthouse.

it’s an easy stroll. we took about 1 hr overall including stopping for pictures..

Neist Point (Scottish Gaelic: Rubha na h-Eist) is at the most westerly point of Skye. Neist Point Lighthouse has been located there since 1909. 

outside the dirt track, the fields were like carpet-bombed with sheep droppings…lol! 🙂

The lighthouse is 43 meters above sea level and can be seen up to 16 nautical miles offshore. 

neist point has awesome views on both sides of the protruding rock shelves.

we walked over to the east side of the rock shelves.

this the view of the coastline behind us looking back..

& this is looking forward at the east side of the protruding shelves.

 

we walked further back & took some selfies & wefies with the breathtaking scenery in the background.

a beautiful place…so many beautiful places…very happy that we drove the distance here, even if it’s more than an hours drive from portree. 🙂
