Stac Pollaidh, Mountain summit in Highland, Scotland
The ridge of Stac Pollaidh rises 613 meters above sea level, featuring numerous sandstone pinnacles and steep gullies along its rocky crest.
The mountain's exterior was shaped during the last Ice Age when weather conditions affected the exposed parts above the ice sheet, creating smooth sides.
The name Stac Pollaidh originates from Norse language, where 'Pollå' refers to a pool river, reflecting the Nordic influence in Scottish geography.
The circular hiking route starts from the Loch Lurgainn car park and takes approximately three hours to complete for people with standard fitness levels.
Two rock formations along the summit ridge are named 'The Sphinx' and 'Madonna and Child', adding geological interest to the hiking experience.
