Just wondering if that is right? The question is asking WHERE in the UK is the 60ft sea stack. The Old Man of Stoer is the NAME of the sea stack, not the location, which is Sutherland.

Thanks skaterkat. I obviously didn't read the question thoroughly enough. I was too concerned about the 60 feet v 60 metres to notice what the question actually said I will change the OP
