Re: Where's the picture ? - Scotland (part 3)

Clue time.
This is my favourite beach on Harris. It is described on a certain website as "... perhaps the finest roadless beach in the Outer Hebrides." There is an island in view and once there was a unique experiment in the delivery of mail to the islanders.

Re: Where's the picture ? - Scotland (part 3)

Thanks! It had to be somewhere on the other side of the Great Glen and that seemed the the best bet, I'm hoping that I haven't posted this before but if I have it will be really easy. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53640977515_4161057c56_b.jpg IMG_2130 copy by Seal54 , on Flickr

Re: Where's the picture ? - Scotland (part 3)

ThanksTim. Interesting place but although I have frequently passed it, I have never managed to visit the island it's on. I have recently been scanning my father's extensive collection of slides. This is of a memorable family outing in the 1960s. My first Munro and I complained most of the way. 30 ye...

Re: Name that Loch!

Thanks Tim. Your comment regarding the nearby summits clinched it. It could only be Glen Shee. My profile pic was actually taken whilst I was leaping around on the summit of the Cairnwell at sunset. I have now spent far too long trying to find a loch that I could definitely identify from my photos s...

Re: Name that Loch!

Loch Vrotachan behind Cairn Aosda and The Cairnwell appears to fit your description and also fits in with the terrain in your photo.

Re: Where's the picture ? - Scotland (part 3)

Taking a punt here, but I having had a few days in Ballater in the autumn, the outline of the faraway hill looks familiar. So - I wonder if it is Mount Keen? In which case the loch (other thread) would be Loch Ullachie, and the viewpoint would be somewhere on the northern part of the Coyles of Muic...
