The Rubha Rèidh road heading north An up and down affair, which may create problems with some vehicles.

In recent years there have been conflicts with the owner of the accomodation at the lighthouse, who has attempted to stop public use of the road. However, the land here is owned by the Inverasdale Estate, and the road is owned by the Northern Lighthouse Board, neither of whom object to the public driving the road. Highland Council, which is responsible for designating the status of roads, has declared the road as "a private road open for all public access". All of which means the driving this road is legitimate. The views are worth it.
