My guide, Mike, unlocked the outer door and allowed me to walk around the balcony of the lighthouse. Unfortunately the looming Skye Bridge hogged the view.

After climbing back down the tower Mike led me over to the hide, well stocked with binos and birding books. It would be a wonderful place to spend a few hours with its view over the north of the island looking towards Raasay.

Before leaving the island I had to sit on the trig pillar that marks its highest point. I'd seen the pillar on every crossing of the bridge over the past 18 years, so it was great fun to finally sit on it.
