Great viewing point, beaware sometimes they lock the gates into the area with the lighthouse, which we got caught out by. Other then that great viewing spot and what looks to be good accommodation.

Walked from Mortehow, took a couple of hours, up and down the coast path, quite steep, great views, came back up the road to the village which was the easy way back. Can be livestock so dogs should be on lead.

You can only reach on foot, around a 2 mile walk, some hills but nothing that steep. Once there it is a lovely spot. The orginal lighthouse fell down. The one here now built in the 70s using much of the original equipment. Three flashes every 10 seconds, no fog signal

We stayed for a week in one of the cottages and had a fantastic stay. It is so peaceful and quiet, a great place for star gazing. If your staying here be aware of the walkers using the road to the lighthouse.
