Stac Pollaidh - Stac Polly.
Early morning and a view of Stac Pollaidh on the Inverpolly National Nature Reserve. 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.
