Location
Neist Point, Isle of Skye
Description
Neist Point is located on the Duirinish peninsula and is the most westerly point of the Isle of Skye. It's a windswept and wild location and I have had many memorable visits since my first trip to Skye in 2013, including an encounter with a Minke whale on a late summer visit. Despite the rugged coastline and surrounding cliffs, it's the Lighthouse at the tip of the headland which draws the eye.
The lighthouse was designed by David A. Stevenson and first lit on November 1, 1909 but has been automated since 1990. Sunset is the best time to visit. I planned this visit in late winter, at which point the setting sun begins to strike the lighthouse and the surrounding cliffs in a soft sidelight at the very end of the day. I was very glad to see a large gap on the Western skyline and it was a case of finding a composition to make the most of the dying light. The foreground rocks provide some much needed depth and help draw the eye into the scene.
