Right kind of rock, but that's not it.

Coire a Mhadaidh NE of Conival?

I'm guessing that the photo was taken on the N ridge of Beinn an Fhurain to the N of Conival.

Thanks. Never been on Beinn an Fhurain, but the photo screamed Quartzite, so a bit of map work soon narrowed it down. Wonderful country.

I'm beginning to run out of Corries, but found this one.

Extra clue - this corrie’s name perhaps refers to its pleasant grass. It’s also got it’s fair share of stones - but the grass is a contrast to its neighbouring, very rocky corries
