About trip
The Butt of Lewis (Rubha Robhanais) is the dramatic northern extremity of Lewis, the tower of its slender brick lighthouse standing proud against the storms that often rage here - a spot sometimes claimed to be the windiest in Britain. This superb circular walk takes in the cliff-top scenery as well as the stunning Eoropie beach - there is also a longer walk which takes in the historic stack of Dun Eistean from Port of Ness.
Terrain
No path but waymarked, mostly short-cropped clifftop grass with some wet sections. Return via minor road.
