Butt of Lewis Lighthouse
Great place on the most northerly part of the Isle of Lewis. Very windy, so wrap up warm!I'm not sure if I would visit with young children and I would definitely keep your dog on a lead, as cliff edges are very dangerous with some cliff subsidence, and no fencing.It is still a great place to visit, whilst here we spotted Shags.

It's a long drive to get here, but completely worth it. There's something quite moving about this lighthouse - you can feel that you're right on the tip of a huge expanse of ocean and the rugged cliffs and surf certainly add to the feeling - the Call of the Void is strong here so watch your step!We didn't use any of the facilities as we were running a little late but this turned out to be one of the highlights of the trip - a beautiful building in a stunning location.

Really cool spot, windiest lighthouse in europe I believe so be prepared! Not an attraction so to speak so no facilities but definitely worth a visit. We seen a family with children having a photoshoot down on the rocks which I would not recommend, the wind was scary at times so be very cautious

Stunning views. Barriers near the edge might have been a good idea. We visited on an extremely windy day, but even on a calm day barriers or a viewing platform would have been appreciated.

Amazing place at the top of lewis, spectacular views and a great place to blow away the cobwebs. Fresh air!! Parking for about 10 cars, single track road with passing places. A small cove on the right before the lighthouse looked really nice too... Check it out.

Pretty spectacular cliffside setting. Bring binoculars to get a better view of the seabirds. It's worth the trip.

Beautiful views of the cliffs and the sea. Loads of space to explore and spread out. The lighthouse is not a tourist attraction so there is no entry or guided tours but provides an interesting backdrop for the photos!

Absolutely stunning views. This is a well looked after lighthouse, though its a shame people haven't read and understood the no overnight parking and driven onto the surrounding land and left their rubbish.

Known for being the windiest place in Britain as I was told by a resident when visiting...it certainly was fresh. But the views at sunset were awesome, a highlight of Lewis and different to the endless peat moorland south of here.
