Absolutely correctamundo. There are a few ancient sites around there, rock carvings - just carved holes really - on islands on the loch, a heap of stones which may be a burial mound or a fort at the point by the bridge, and the Ballachulish Goddess was found underground in North Ballachulish, she now resides in the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh. Over to you...

Good attempt - I can see why you might think that but I'm afraid that I'm not on Creag Mac Ranaich

Meall Buidhe?

Simply because I recognise the beautiful weather and I know where you walked that day?

Oh I am sure I can be caught!!!
My work is also annoyingly busy, and my competing hobbies and demanding attention :lol:
How about this one - chosen simply because I love the picture!

Small clue.....
This cairn is not on the summit - the true summit lies ahead, further along this ridge.

I am not on a Munro, and I am certainly in a remote area.
If I were to show you the view behind me, there are certainly some recognisable peaks.
