A clue: the peak on the far right is part of a popular Northern Corbett.

Is that looking up Scrabster Burn, near the remains of Scrabster? (Not the Scrabster next to Thurso, which I wouldn't call "remains". :) )

Yes! It's on the short walk from Tongue to Castle Varrich.

Thanks! It was pretty cloudy last time I was round there but the side of Ben Loyal looked kind of familiar.

Where did I take this?

First clue: The hill in the picture is the second highest in a ten-mile radius. The first highest is about a mile to the left of the camera.

Thanks! Where you took that from is not a well-visited spot, I would guess....

OK, where is this?

From the well worn bedrock that looks like a Torridon glen.

Thanks. Looking forward to getting back up there. Here is a little shot from a recent adventure closer to home. If it goes quickly, I would like help to confirm the gully name....as I’m not 100%.

Guess it's not easy then. It's legally accessible within the central belt and I'm looking at the sun set.

Indeed it is. :clap: :clap:
Taken from the top (and within) long gully? or coffin gully? I'm not sure which one.
Not far from the summit at 557813.
Over to you.
