Ben Stack, Mountain summit in Highland, Scotland
Ben Stack rises to 721 meters in height, featuring a cone-shaped rock formation with steep slopes and a distinctive communications mast at its peak.
In 2005, former British Foreign Secretary Robin Cook experienced a fatal heart attack while descending from the summit of Ben Stack during a hiking expedition.
The mountain carries both English and Scottish Gaelic names, with Beinn Stac translating to Pinnacle Hill, reflecting its status in Highland geography.
The ascent begins from parking spaces along the A838 road, 1.5 kilometers north of Achfary, following marked paths to the summit.
From its summit, Ben Stack provides views of the Sutherland coastline and neighboring peaks including Foinaven, Arkle to the north, and Quinag to the south.
