Artwork description:

Picture this: the stunning Neist Point Lighthouse on the Isle of Skye, where the rugged cliffs dramatically plunge into the ocean. This artwork brings that breathtaking scene to life, showcasing the wild beauty of nature in all its glory. The cliffs, with their jagged edges and vibrant greens, seem to tell tales of adventure, while the lighthouse stands as a beacon of warmth amidst the untamed landscape.

The sky above is a swirling canvas of clouds, hinting at the ever-changing moods of the sea below. You can almost hear the waves crashing against the rocks, creating a symphony of nature that invites you to pause and reflect.

This piece isn’t just a landscape; it’s a conversation starter, a slice of serenity that can transform your space into a haven of inspiration. Perfect for those who appreciate the great outdoors or simply want to add a splash of drama to their walls. Trust me, your guests will be saying, “Wow, where did you get that?” every time they walk by!….oh…and did you notice the man on the Clifftop… I had hopefully thought that he could have been the Shepherd looking after the wandering sheep!

Neist Point is one of the most famous lighthouses in Scotland and can be found on the most westerly tip of Skye near the township of Glendale.

While the walk down is an easy one, the concrete path does get quite steep at times. From the path you will see stunning views of the high cliffs and the lighthouse itself, at sunset the view is made even more spectacular making this a top destination for landscape photographers.

Neist Point Lighthouse, designed by David Alan Stevenson, was first lit on 1 November 1909. An aerial cableway is used to take supplies to the lighthouse and cottages and the cableway is still used to take supplies to the cottages which are now available as a self catering facility.

Mr W Hugh MacDonald from Oban was the building contractor for the lighthouse and dwellings which cost £4,350 at that time. The fog signal, which has since been discontinued, was not completed until 1910. Neist Point lighthouse was automated in 1990.

The tower is 19 metres high and has a range of 16 miles. The station is located on the North East corner of the Isle of Skye near Waterstein. The only access is by foot but the 45 minute walk is worth it to see the beautiful facility and the surrounding views.
