Stac Pollaidh and Scottish Nature Photography showing
the skies over Inverpolly National Nature Reserve which
are about to unleash a snow storm over little Stac Pollaidh
'the peak of the moss' and its neighbours. This is Landscape
country, an area which seems so vast, with skies which
go on for ever and clouds that are ever changing.The mountains
are rugged but kind, the rivers dance a Highland reel
as they cascade down to the lochs and lochans, one minute
dark and somber the next sparkling in the sun, as the
wind blows through the glens and hurries the cloud along.
A land of ever changing light and one which I as a Scot,
climber and Landscape photographer love. But, you need
be niether of these to enjoy the Scottish Landscape all
you need is a love of nature and an eye for beauty. Come
and visit Scotland.
Stac Pollaidh, Cul Beag and Cul Mor are situated in this
vast area of wild country north of Ullapool. Although
Stac Pollaidh is only 613 metres high it affords stunning
views over Loch Sionascaig and the Reserve to the hills
of Assynt and beyond and to the south a fine view of Ben
Mor Coigach.
Loch Sionascaig is hidden from the gaze of the car and
bus passenger, but don your boots, have a look at the
map there is a path into its shore , rest and enjoy the
deafening silence of wilderness.
The reserve is a natural haven for Scottish wild cat,
pine martin and the golden eagle.
After your efforts drive along the side of Loch Lurgainn
and round to Achiltibuie or cut off and take the single
track road over to Lochinver either way you will enjoy
it.
