Indeedy. I didn't have many I could quickly pick from, used them all before.

Now, can you identify the Pie filling? :lol: :lol:


Pork stuffing and apple pie. :wink:

Close enough. Pork, apple and cider ;). You get next "what filling"?

As for Kaye's loch, closest I could think of was Balnakeil Bay but guess that's not counted as a loch!

Oh gosh sorry - forgot I'd posted a loch!!

Not Balnakeil Bay.
But a similar sort of place.
Great for birdlife.

No rohan.
It's a sea loch that virtually empties out at low tide.

Hahaha, I didn't mean the Galloway Loch Fleet but the sea loch Fleet (south of Golpsie) which does just that given that your photo is clearly a sea loch

Loich Gruinart, Islay? Like Loch Fleet another tidal loch that is also a nature reserve.

Indeed it is.
We had a wonderfully wild walk there last September.
I Loved Islay.

I'll trade you a clue if you respond to Dopeyloser over on "Where's the picture, Scotland?"

There is a Graham to the north and a sub 2000 to the south. According to WH stats 147 Walkhighlanders have walked the (distinctive) Graham contributing to 11 TRs. Stats for the less distinctive Sub give 24 records of ascent but only 1 TR.
