Description
The path goes round the back of the hill and comes out on the crest of ridge, ...thats where the fun begins.
The route scrambles over and around pinnacles, up steep gullys along narrow ledges, the exposure hits you at every turn and the views are to die for.
If you ever visit Scotland and can only do one thing, walk up Stac Polly.
Thanks for viewing and have a good weekend.

Nice POV, Anthony. I can feel the wind here... Sunstroke I have had. Hypothermia, I've not ( I think ), although I have been seriously cold ( -15C at Carnwath c1981 ), several snow storms, etc. I salute your health and determination, and of course safety first approach. Enjoy the weekend. Regards, John.

Can someone carry me? I don't think I could ever do that, much as I'd love too. I'm way too petrified of heights... Anyhoo....another gorgeous shot of Stac Polly... Love the wee purple flowers in the foreground. I remember them well.... It strikes me that Stac Polly looks a bit like a castle....Was it ever fortified or used in defense? Just curious.... Thx for sharing, once again, Anthony.

For your information. Stac Pollaidh: As mountains go, this one is extremely accessible, and over the years this had led to heavy use and severe erosion. As a result the southern side grew to resemble a peat-bog, and those on its rear a very large sand dune. In more recent times, a great deal of work has been done to retrieve the mountain from the effects of our boots, and an extensive path building programme has taken place. You may or may not like made paths on mountains, but anyone who ever fought their way up the back of this one to reach the summit ridge in a cloudburst driven by a southerly gale on literally shifting sands will welcome the idea of better underfoot conditions.

Sounds like a neat place.
