Neist Point is a viewpoint on the most westerly point of Skye. Neist Point Lighthouse has been located there since 1909.

The lighthouse was engineered by David A Stevenson and the light was first lit on 1 November 1909. Mr W Hugh MacDonald from Oban was the building contractor for the lighthouse and dwellings which cost £4,350. The lantern was made by Dove & Co costing £1,100 and the lightroom machine cost £418 and was made by Milne & Co. The fog signal, which has since been discontinued, was completed on 25 June 1910. The station was converted to automatic operation in 1990.
