Great place to visit when doing the NC500. It is well signposted and is about 4 miles off the Lochinver to Drumbeg scenic road. There is a walk along the cliffs to the Stoer Sea Stack. Excellent views.

Review of the lighthouse as a structure, not the rental apartments available. A long and sometimes arduous journey from our base near Thurso but worth every minute meandering through single track roads. The sat nav was also spot on for taking us all the way there too from our previous stop at Smoo Cave. You are rewarded with the ability to park at the lighthouse itself - always nice - and ample opportunities to capture it from all angles, albeit from outside the compound as it is a private rental property.

Started from the light house but didn't make it all the way... incredible winds and watery boggy ground didn't help either ... managed to get to the cliffs edge point where you can see it though ... about half way.

Park your car at the lighthouse and walk along the coastline for 1hr to find the "Old Man of Stoer". From there walk up the "hill" and find an astonishing view over the highlands and the surrounding hills.
