After using my computer nerd movie-like skills, which means entering something like
"Loch with island in the middle" into google, getting just one hit, like in every good movie,
I deduct you are looking at Clisham.

OMG, you are right. How careless was that? Should have posted the pic looking the other way. Or better still the one looking at the island from below Clisham

just Kidding, but I really did a map search for islands in Lochs. SInce I started out west, Harris was the first i hit. But everything fitted so well.....that I had a go.
Now for something a bit more special:
What am I looking at here?

Oooh think I've got this one, is it the underside of an engine and an extremely fast spinning propeller?

Right. We only had one week in Scotland, but a friend and myself wanted to visit our square foot of Laphroiag Land on Islay.
The only way to get that into our schedule was to fly in from Oban in the morning and back in the afternoon.

A very wild guess, since I have never been on that side: Ben Hope, seen from the south along its eastern side?
