Neist Point

Neist Point is undeniably one of the most popular spots on Skye, with its dramatic views over the North Sea towards Uist. In the height of the season it can be quite a battle to reach the car park, such is it’s notoriety! There is however a lesser known road that runs almost parallel to Neist Point which affords great views across to the lighthouse and also access to one of the most stunning coastal clifftop walks in the UK. This is the road to Ramasaig, a small township that was subjected to clearances in 1883, there are still outlines of lazy beds and many of the structures are still visible today. From Ramasaig you can walk to Waterstein Head and take in some breath-taking views across to the Cuillins and MacLeods Maidens, this takes roughly 2 hours there and 2 hours back. For the more adventurous, you can walk all the way to Orbost Farm a mere 10 hour trek!

Walk Scotland have published a guide for both walks.
