Stac Pollaidh is a mountain in the Northwest Highlands of Scotland, its rocky crest built of Torridonian sandstone and carved into numerous pinnacles and steep gullies. During the last Ice Age its ridge stood above the surrounding ice sheet as a nunatak, while glacial movement smoothed the flanks below. It reaches 612 meters with a topographic prominence of nearly 440 meters, and its name blends the Norse word for pool river with Scottish Gaelic usage.
