Where's the picture ? - Scotland (part 3)

[Guinessman]

Reminds me of Saddle Yoke in the Borders?

I can see the resemblance, but that’s not it.

[Glengavel]

Brrr, rather you than me!

Where is this fine looking peak?

That reminds me a lot of West Kip, the cleft summit and the 'hump' on the approach.

[jmarkb]

Yes, well done, it’s West Kip, after the heavy snow earlier this year.

Woo hoo. Just happened to have been going through some old photos recently and West Kip was one of them.

I don't have a lot of images to hand at the moment but have a go at this:

Canisp?

[Glengavel]

No to Canisp.

Ben Wyvis?

Ben Wyvis?

Correct.

Sorry it's taken so long. Where was this picture taken? Bonus points for name of lighthouse and islands in the background.

Eilean Glas Lighthouse?
The Island would be Garbh eilean?

[apollo0815]

Or in general: the Shiant Isles

[Caberfeidh]

Ye Shiants from Scalpay, Harris (as apposed to Scalpay, Skye). I transited past that lighthouse once, on an oil rig towed by massive ships. I hoped we would run aground and I could escape to Harris. The lighthouse is called Eilean Glas, and is distinctively stripey to show up against the grey rock of Scalpay and Harris. https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/scalpay/scalpay/index.html

Correct Have been going to Harris for years but only discovered this place last summer.

Finding a red&White striped lighthouse is far easier than finding mountain tops.

Ok next one, which quite famous bay were we looking at 15 years ago?
