Tarbat Ness Lighthouse

Highlight • Monument

The north part of the peninsula is a great spot to stop for a rest. Try and see if you can spot Norway out to the east.

Tip by

728 m

I recommend wearing clothing that covers your legs during the summer months for the return section from Tarbatness lighthouse by the Moray Firth shore back to Portmahomack. The grass is long on the shore and the ticks are lively!

Tarbat Ness Lighthouse

Highlight • Monument

Mid 19th Century lighthouse that is now a private residence. The views are great from the tip of the peninsula though so it's well worth a visit.
