Stac Pollaidh- Northwest Highlands Scotland

Here we are at the trailhead for Stac Pollaidh. This is a trail up to the rock formations above.Stac Pollaidh is a mountain in the Northwest Highlands of Scotland.  The peak displays a rocky crest of Torridonian sandstone, with many pinnacles and steep gullies.
There is a grove of trees to pass through to climb up to the base of the mountain.

There are great views of several Loch near the trailhead.

Here is a view past the trees.

Taking a break to enjoy the views.

Getting closer we had to scramble over some rocks.


I loved the texture of the rocks.

Heading down we took a trail around to the other side of the mountain.

This trail was only 3-1/2 miles climbing to 1,587 ft. This is a quick hike of 3 hours or so.
