The walkhighlands logo

I've been wondering how many of the features on the walkhighlands landscape logo are supposed to resemble specific places in Scotland? The hand side definitely seems to show Calton Hill with its monument, with Edinburgh's old town behind. Could the three light blue hills in the middle be the Eildons? And how about those on the left hand side? :)

The middle looks more like Jura to me - never realised those two were so alike before :)

It's more like the Burns monument on Regent Road, too, although it's not as seethrough as that...

On the basis of Paul's pic, the left part of the logo is definitely the North end of the Skye Black Cuillin, seen from the East. The series of spiky peaks at the far right is Sgurr nan Gillean's pinnacle ridge, unmistakable.
