I could be wrong but that looks like the West end of Loch Avon looking across to Carn Etchachan to me. I was there two weekends ago. The weather wasn’t as sunny as in that pic though!

Yes, looks like it. Had lunch on the beach last year-lovely spot to camp too.

Certainly looks like the Sticil (Shelter Stone Crag) on the right. Lovely clear waters of Loch Avon. "The watters o' A'an, they rin sae clear, 'twad beguile a mon o' a hunner year." Etc.
