Tour Scotland Travel Video Neist Point Lighthouse West Coast Isle Of Skye Inner Hebrides

Tour Scotland travel video of Neist Point Lighthouse on the West Coast on ancestry visit to the Isle Of Skye, inner Hebrides, Scotland. Lighthouse was designed by David Alan Stevenson, a lighthouse engineer who built twenty six lighthouses in and around Scotland. He was part of the famous Stevenson family of lighthouse engineers, including brother Charles Stevenson, uncle Thomas Stevenson, and grandfather Robert Stevenson. His cousin was the author Robert Louis Stevenson. Neist was first lit on 1 November 1909. An aerial cableway is used to take supplies to the lighthouse and cottages. Since 1990, the lighthouse has been operated remotely from the Northern Lighthouse Board headquarters in Edinburgh. The former keepers' cottages are now in private ownership.
