Inverpolly is the name given to a large area of western Sutherland in the Northwest Highlands of Scotland, north of Ullapool. The area is a National Nature Reserve, and contains several prominent hills, rising up from a rough landscape of bogs and lochans. 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. The area was established as a National Nature Reserve in 1961 by the Nature Conservancy Council now Scottish Natural Heritage
