Neist Point is one of the most iconic places on The Isle of Skye and is a favourite of landscape photographers for that reason. It’s home to the Neist Point Lighthouse and it’s unique location, but if you look around the area, you will also find other interesting things. Neist point is really a place that deserves more time and waiting for the “good light” but travel photography doesn’t always allow for that unfortunately. We were a fair distance from home base and wanted to get off the island before nightfall to minimize driving on unfamiliar roads in the dark.

This mother with two small children interested me. They were sitting, watching out over the sea like this for some time. I suppose they might have been watching for some of the varied sea life that might be viewed from this lookout but with or without sea life, this is a very beautiful place to just sit and enjoy.
