Too rocky/bony for that area - I distinctly remember lots of grass... just really, really steep grass in Kintail! :o

Much further south...

Too rocky!!!!Too Bony!!!! I had Kintail in mind myself but was too embarrassed to post.
To me that is perfect Five Sisters Terrain - though obviously not one of them

Not in Dumfries and Galloway so nope Caberfeidh...

The 3rd 'sister' along isn't Fhuaran - your pic is the one before it (can't remember the name) - Fhuaran is the one which sky-rockets into the sky for miles and looks fearsome! (well it does to mountain cowards...)

Sgurr Thuilm (just N of Glenfinnan) possibly?

Nope - further south (you are looking at the original pic and not the 5 Sisters one put out as an example aren't you?)

I am indeed! I'll go for my original thought of Sgor na h-Ulaidh then (from Stob an Fhurain).

Indeed,Indeed it is not Fhuran it is Sgurr nan Carnach or (Carnage as it should be)
Though not for the competition - I just mean it is the third one of the sisters
And I still have no idea where the pic is!
Sorry I didn't partake of the banter earlier. Have been off playing......er.....tennis......yes on a day like today

When I said 'very nearly' I meant go and recheck my clue on page 53! You have the right pair of mountains, just in the wrong order!

OK here's one:

Identify the loch. You could name some munros too, but the ranges would be sufficient.
