Stac Lee is a sea stack belonging to the St.

Kilda Archipelago in the North Atlantic and at a height of 564 feet is the second highest sea stack in the UK. Stac Lee is approximately four miles from St. Kilda, a distance that the men of St. Kilda would cross in an open rowing boat some 37 miles out into the Atlantic from Benbecula in the Outer Hebrides.
There is only one possible place to land on Stac Lee and the St. Kildan fowlers would lasso an iron peg on the rock face and with the swell of the waves leap ashore in either bare feet or woollen socks. A small bothy was their only shelter while staying on Stac Lee collecting sea birds and their eggs. File 6613
