One of the most beautiful and remote tourist hotspots on the Isle of Skye, the wonderfully scenic and (sometimes) serene Neist Point, the most westerly point of the Isle!

Stunning panoramic views, dramatic cliffs, and a picturesque lighthouse towering above the strip of Atlantic known as the Minch - what is not to love! This was captured on the one great weather day we had during our June 2024 trip to Skye, most of the rest of the week was too wet and windy to fly the drone, but it is Skye, so you pays your money and takes your chances...

Sunsets from this location are legendary, but as it was getting busier and the midges were coming out to play we decided not to wait until sunset - we had Waternish Peninsula lined up for that video - so an early evening flight was enough for us to capture the spirit of the place...

Very nice, are you a retired person and has money to travel around to fly drone?
Very relaxing. Enjoy your life with beers and drone.

Thanks Daniel, I appreciate the watch and the comment...

Sadly I still have 10 years to go until retirement, but we do get to travel to Scotland on holiday 2 or 3 times a year, and I try and make the most of our time with the drone... When we do retire we shall be moving to Scotland, and I shall then have plenty of time to perfect each flight and subject :)

I went to Scotland before, but only visited Edinburgh, I hope that you will enjoy Scotland whisky. :p
Edinburgh is lovely, but the Highlands are spectacular... And yes, we do enjoy a wee dram, have visited over 100 of the distilleries in Scotland, some more than once..
 
Another amazing video! Thanks for taking us along with you!
 
Thanks for another glimpse of beautiful Skye. That was a beautiful morning and you made it feel like I was there, flying along the cliffs. Might that big red "horn" near the lighthouse be a way that boats were warned?

Thanks, the horn is indeed of the 'fog' variety, and the lighthouse is in use, although all automated nowadays...

What a beautiful place to fly the drone. What is that orange tube jutting out from the lighthouse? Looks like some sort of speaker
Enjoyed watching it. Thankyou
Thank you, glad it was enjoyed, and yes, an awesome place to fly...

The orange tube is the fog horn, USD in foggy conditions to warn shipping of the rocks...
 
You did it again, Suzanne! Beautiful location, beautiful music. Was that you on the peak you orbited @ 1:47-ish?
