NC500 G.T. - 6 - The Black Isle
Channery Lighthouse.
Channery Point is perhaps Black Isles most famous tourist hot-spot. Not for its attractive lighthouse but for the sighting of its dolphins. It is one of the best spots in the UK to view bottlenose dolphins from the land. The dolphins are often visible off Chanonry point, particularly on an incoming tide when they play and fish in the strong currents. Porpoise and seals are also seen here.
We saw none but many people around us saw them!
The lighthouse was established: 1846, Engineer: Alan Stevenson, Tower Height: 13 metres
Light Range: 15 miles, Elevation: 12 metres, Automated: 1984
The NC 500: The Scottish 'North Coast 500' is one of the world’s most beautiful road trips. A route of just over 500 miles (516) of stunning coastal scenery, white sandy beaches, rugged mountains, remote fishing villages and hidden gems.
