Waternish or Vaternish Point (Scottish Gaelic Rubha Bhatairnis) is the northwestern promontory of the Waternish peninsula on Skye. Its chief feature is the steep cliff above a rocky beach. Above the cliff grassy terrain rises gently to the abandoned settlement of Unish, now only ruins. The grassland over the point is considered part of the point. It was once farmed from Unish.
Waternish Point has housed the Vaternish Lighthouse since 1924.

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
