This is the point at which the Giant's Causeway from Northern Ireland reaches Scotland. Neist Point is the most westerly landmass on the Isle of Skye. The western isles can be seen across the waters of Moonen Bay. The unmanned lighthouse was built in 1909 and automated in 1990. Its tower is 62 m high and houses a 480000 candle power lamp which is visible for 24 km. Five crofters share the land as communal grazing. The cottages nearby are privately owned and not for hire to visitors. There are 14 species of fish found in the waters, along with whales, dolphins and basking sharks.
