About this spot
Muckle Flugga Lighthouse is the most northerly lighthouse in Britain, standing on a jagged rock stack off the coast of Unst, Shetland Islands, Scotland. The lighthouse was built in 1854 to protect ships during the Crimean War, and it is now a popular destination for landscape photographers.



The viewpoint from the Hermaness cliffs is one of the best places to photograph Muckle Flugga Lighthouse.
