Stac Pollaidh

18.52 km away from here

Stac Pollaidh is a mountain in the Northwest Highlands of Scotland. The peak displays a rocky crest of Torridonian sandstone, with many pinnacles and steep gullies. The ridge was exposed to weathering as a nunatak above the ice sheet during the last Ice Age, while the ice flow carved and scoured the sides of the mountain. Due to its relatively low height of just over 2000 feet, fine views, and ease of access from a road it has become a very popular peak to climb.
