Inverpolly

Inverpolly

Inverpolly is the name given to a large area of western Sutherland in the Northwest Highlands of Scotland, north of Ullapool. The area contains several prominent hills, rising up from a rough landscape of bogs and lochans. For many years the area was designated National Nature Reserve but since 2004, the designation has been limited to the area of Knockan Crag.

Most of Inverpolly forms part of the 400 km2 Assynt Estate. Major peaks in the area include Suilven, Stac Pollaidh and Cul Mòr. At the heart of Inverpolly lies Loch Sionascaig.
