Stac Lee (Scottish Gaelic: Stac Lì) is a sea stack in the St Kilda group off the west coast of Scotland. An island Marilyn (a point with topographic prominence of at least 150 m), it is home to part of the world's largest colony of northern gannet.
Martin Martin called the island "Stac-Ly" in 1698.[2] Other sources call it "Stac Lii."[4]
