Name that Corrie!

[malky_c]

Cheers. I'll butt out after this one. What corrie am I standing in here?

[BoyVertiginous]

Is that Loch na Claise (S of Cul Mor) in the foreground? In which case, Coire Gorm?

[malky_c]

Not there, I'm afraid.

[hailiamdigby]

No need to butt out.
It's good to see these pictures. I just looked up Lochain Stratha Mhoir, to see where it was. It's all pretty informative, really.
It's funny I didn't think of Loch Loch, as I made sure to take a peek at it, when up Beinn a'Ghlo. I think I looked, just North of the summit of the Munro.
I was looking up a couple of other Lochs in the Cairngorms as they looked familiar but - like you've done - I was looking at maps but it wouldn't correspond with the picture

[hailiamdigby]

Ouch. That's almost 48 hours that have passed since you posted this one, Malky.
No-one's got it right?
I'm surprised but maybe you'll tell us it's in some remote location?
Please let us know the answer, unless someone gets it, shortly after I've posted this.

p.s It's fine for someone else to post another pic of a corrie just now, as Malky's hasn't been guessed correctly, sadly.

[malky_c]

I'd better drop a hint or two:

BoyVertiginous isn't close exactly, but heading towards the right end of the country.

Perhaps this is off the beaten track, but only slightly. It is on a popular far north mountain.

[electricfly]

An Gorm-choire?

[malky_c]

Much closer...but no.

[electricfly]

hmm...

...Coire Fhionnaich?

[malky_c]

Correct . Not a very corrie-shaped corrie, but pretty impressive for one that no-one visits.
(On Ben Loyal for anyone who can't be bothered scouring maps).

[electricfly]

...Sorry, didn't realise I'd guessed that correctly!

Can you tell me the name of the Coire that this mini-rainbow is falling into here?..

[hailiamdigby]

Please put us out of our misery and "Name that Corrie", Electricfly

I had all sorts of weird and wonderful ideas for this one, including the Outer Hebrides and some Corbetts in the far north, but it's actually Coire Toaig with Stob Gabhar in the background, which is fairly well known

Yes it is and I was sure it would have been gotten in minutes!

[malky_c]

Oh well, got there on the end....
Here's another corrie that should be fairly well known. Mine always seem to have lochs in them:
