The Stac,

The Stac,
An image from 2011 showing Stac Pollaidh, often called Stac Polly,
The English translation, Is "The pinnacle of pool river" it has a height 612m (2008ft)
The rocky crest is of Torridon sandstone and is a nunatak, (the ridge was above the ice during the last Ice age) which is why the sides are smooth, and the ridge has many pinnacles.

The following image will show is position in the range.

Interesting information Roger and a super shot. The notes about the ice age reminded me of the Parallel Roads of Glen Roy, also as a result of the ice age. Fascinating.

Best wishes Carol

A very imposing looking summit..........and I like your explanation of how it was formed. It makes a wonderful backdrop for the tree covered landscape in the foreground.

Very nicely composed and taken Roger.
