Stac Levenish or Stac Leibhinis (sometimes simply called "Levenish/Leibhinis") is a sea stack in the St Kilda archipelago in Scotland. Lying 2½ km off Village Bay on Hirta, it is part of the rim of an extinct volcano that includes Dùn, Ruaival and Mullach Sgar.[2]
The stack is 62 m (203 ft) high. Its north cliff appears to have the profile of a face, visible when traveling to St Kilda from the east. The skerry 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 of Stac Lee.[4]
