About Stac Pollaidh
Stac Pollaidh is a mountain. Location: Highland, Scotland. Elevation: 612 m.
Stac Pollaidh (Scottish Gaelic pronunciation: [ˈs̪t̪ʰaʰkˈpʰɔɫ̪eɪ]) 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 smooth sides of the mountain. The modern Gaelic name is a recent invention.
