About Waterstein

Waterstein occupies a remote corner of Skye's Duirinish Peninsula, accessible via the A87 and B884 through Glendale.

Two fast chargers support electric vehicles in this Atlantic-facing location. The settlement sits just two kilometres from Neist Point lighthouse, dramatically positioned 43 metres above the sea on Scotland's westernmost cliffs.
