help need identifying amazing split level twin lochs

Hello, I'm digitising 30 yr old slides. There's one I don't recognise, not 100% sure about cyclist at the moment. I'd love to go to this place. Looks like Scotland and this was the only place I ever took slides.

Looks like the path out to Dun Caan on the Isle of Raasay. The lower, larger one is called Loch na Meilich, while the upper one is un-named.

Yes, I looked at it and thought 'that looks like Raasay'. Someone has put a pretty similar shot on google maps https://goo.gl/maps/MHY83AevndRZUrqy7

Yes, it's Raasay. I'm from Raasay and have stood on that spot dozens of times. It's a rocky path, not ideal for cycling.
