Join the Wester Ross Ranger to go around Stac Pollaidh on the shortest day of the year. We will be taking stock of the year past and celebrating the increase of daylight from this point. As we go, we will be looking at nature and geology and if lucky will experience the glow of the setting sun.

Note this walk is designed for people who want to be in the hills but not go up to the top. While not going up to the summit there is still some uphill walking. The distance is 4km/2.5miles and on hill path some of which can be very boggy.

Booking essential via Eventbrite. Adults only.
