Stac Pollaidh (Stac Polly) Mountain is in
the far northwest of Scotland, 72 miles
northwest of Inverness, 15 miles north of Ullapool, off
the A835 Road.
The Mountain is 2,008ft / 612 m, not the
highest in Scotland, but one of the best
looking due to it standing alone with a
distinctive shape.

The Image top is from the main A835 Road 8
miles north of Ullapool with a notice board
giving information on the Mountains in this
area.
The second image is of the single lane
Tourist Road that runs north to Lochinver, 30
miles north of Stac Pollaidh.
The Tourist Road to Lochinver passes the Car
Park for Stac Pollaidh as seen right.
The Mountains in this area are amazing, with
Erosion Layers plain to see, great for Photos
or Paintings. They look like mountains from the
Western Films shot in Utah / America.
The Hike starts from the Car Park then
follows a New Path around the Mountain then up
from the North. The Original Path straight up
the south side is now not meant to be used due
to Erosion.
Once on top, there are a number of Pinnacles
to explore with some of the best views in
Scotland.
The Highest Pinnacles are only taken on by
Experienced Scramblers, as they are fairly
difficult with high drops.
The 2,398ft / 731m Suilven
is another stand alone Mountain in this area
that just has to be Seen, Photographed, of
Hiked.
On a clear day, from the top of Stac
Pollaidh, you get great views of Suilven about
20 miles north, as the crow flies.
