No - I fear this may be a bit too obscure for anyone to guess accurately, not a great choice of photo perhaps. It's between Bynack More and Carn Dubh, so I'll give it to Caberfeidh.

My first thought was Eigg and Muck, but the absence of Rum suggests not. Are they Garvellachs?

Nooooooooooooooo...., you were in the right vicinity with Rum... I turned slightly left and saw Rum too. Clue ~ be careful not to lose course when sailing by...

Is the big one Canna? But can't work out the smaller one if so...

Edit: just seen that Sanday is a separate island.

Correct! Canna has magnetic rocks in Compass Hill, so strong they can distort a compass reading. So do the Cuillin hills.

I was watching Muriel Gray yesterday (on YouTube, I wasn't hiding in her wardrobe or anything) and she said the same thing about Ladhar Bheinn.

Near a summit, but without crampons I couldn't get any farther.

You probably shouldn't have added the "near a summit" clue! I guessed Cuillin immediately but might have gone with An Dorus without that hint.

Back with something shortly.
