What makes a good sunset on the Isle of Skye?
Skye faces the open Atlantic and has sea lochs cutting deep into the island on multiple sides. The black Cuillin ridge makes one of the most striking mountain silhouettes in the UK at golden hour. Neist Point lighthouse on the westernmost tip gives you unobstructed ocean horizon in three directions. The Quiraing and Old Man of Storr face east and catch the last color after the sun drops. After Atlantic fronts clear through, the air goes razor sharp and the light hits the basalt cliffs hard. Summer evenings run past 10 PM.
