Stac Pollaidh — Scottish Landscape Limited Edition Print

This coloured pencil drawing, one of a set of four Mary King made in 1993, looks out at the famous peak of Stac Pollaidh from a favourite ‘secret’ beach near the Green Loch — reached by a short but rough trudge off the road alongside Loch Badagyle. It’s an ideal, secluded spot for a picnic, and just as good a vantage point for the mountain’s distinctive pinnacled ridge, one of the most recognisable silhouettes in the Coigach and Assynt landscape. The coloured pencil medium allowed fine, careful detail in the rock and heather in the foreground. Limited edition prints are produced at 25cm x 18cm from the original drawing.
