Add article description

Inverpolly is the name given to a large area of northern Wester Ross 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. From 1961, the area was designated national nature reserve[1] but since 2004, the designation has been limited to the area of Knockan Crag. The area supports a large number of high-quality freshwater loch habitats, the majority of which are oligotrophic.[2] Major peaks in the area include Stac Pollaidh, Cul Mòr, Cul Beag. At the heart of Inverpolly lies the large irregular shaped Loch Sionascaig.[3]
