Stac Levenish orStac Leibhinis (sometimes simply calledLevenish/Leibhinis) is asea stack in theSt Kildaarchipelago inScotland. Lying 2.5 kilometres (1+1⁄4 nautical miles) off Village Bay onHirta, it is part of the rim of an extinct volcano that includesDùn, Ruaival and Mullach Sgar.[2]
The stack is 62 metres (203 ft) high. Its north cliff appears to have the profile of a human face, visible when travelling to St Kilda from the east. Theskerry of Na Bodhan lies to the north east.
The stack was climbed recreationally in the early 1900s;Norman Heathcote mentions a moderately difficult ascent in 1900, as part of a climbing expedition that also included an ascent ofStac Lee.[4]
