The Butt of Lewis Lighthouse is an absolute must-see location for anyone fortunate enough to find themselves on the unmissable Isle of Lewis. Not only is this iconic landmark steeped in history, it also holds the title for the windiest spot in the entire UK! However, it’s not just the structure of the lighthouse itself which is awe-inspiring – it’s the dynamic, powerful, and utterly captivating energy of the surrounding coastline which really sets this apart as a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Even if the weather is relatively calm, visitors can still marvel at the breathtaking swell created by recent storms, making for a totally magical landscape. And if you’re lucky enough to be up and about for the early hours of the day, prepare to witness nature’s very own paintbrush at work, as the sunrise washes the rugged coastline in delicate and delightful hues, perfectly complementing the raw beauty of this exceptional northwestern outcrop of the British Isles.
