Loch Maree is, as far as I know, the only other loch that has islands similar to this, so also a good guess.



Indeed, there are lots of similarities, though to my mind, Maree's isles just edge it, being Torridonian sandstone in the main.


OK, which loch is this? I am also afloat.

If you nose the name of the far right peak, and consider there is a hidden glen/loch between me and there, as well as an iconic peak just out of shot, the odds will start to Stac up.

Correct!

As seen in a less sneaky version from almost the same spot.

Cheers. It was the grey screes that were the clue, & once I'd discounted Beinn Eighe and Foinaven there weren't many left.
