Description: Looking south-east from 1.6 north-west of Badagyle, Stac Pollaidh (Stac Polly), Ross & Cromarty. Torridon sandstone mountains of Cul Mor on the left and Stac Pollaidh on the right. Massive isolated 'inselberg' or 'island mountain' type mountains that are a distinctive part of the scenery in the North-west Highlands. The sandstone mountains often form long narrow ridges, Stac Pollaidh is viewed end on, compare this with the view seen in D01185 which shows the same mountain but in broadside view.
