The Neist Point Lighthouse has been guiding ships that cross these waters since November 1, 1909, when it was inaugurated. Like almost all the lighthouses in Scotland, it was designed by a member of the Stevenson family, famous for being a saga of lighthouse engineers who also gave the world the writer Robert Louis Stevenson, author of works such as Treasure Island or Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

Getting to this place is not easy at all since it is located in one of the most remote corners of Scotland. On the Scottish west coast within the Isle of Skye and after having traveled the narrowest and most hidden roads of the island, we can reach this incredible place.
