The last sunbeam at Neist Point Lighthouse, Isle of Skye, Glendale, Scotland, UK

Nice weather…for now

When the mist clears from this most westerly point on Scotland’s Isle of Skye, Neist Point Lighthouse makes a fine exclamation point. It’s perched on the farthest reach of the rugged Duirinish peninsula and is a good place to finish an extraordinarily scenic walk. Good weather helps: Even though the path down to the point is only a little more than a mile long and well-marked, the air isn’t always as calm as it appears here. Rain and wind frequently lash the headland and make the going a little rough, to say the least.
