Mealasta

Ireland

Mealasta perches on Lewis's wild Atlantic coast, reached via the A858 and B8011 through Uig, then 15km on narrow roads from Stornoway (45 minutes total). The single-track route demands careful driving, especially in winter gales, but rewards with dramatic coastal scenery. One EV charging point serves visiting electric vehicles. The settlement's automated lighthouse, operational since 1900, marks one of Scotland's most westerly points.
