Indeed it is, looking into Coire Bhrochain. Over t' you.

Cheers, whats the hill in the centre?

[prog99]

Must be time for a clue.

Taken from what may be considered a bit of a pig of a hill.

[kmai1961]

Is it Sgairneach Mhor, taken from the Sow of Atholl?

[prog99]

Yup, taken on a lovely snowy jaunt up the Sow a few years ago.

[kmai1961]

Thanks, prog. I'd actually looked up the Gaelic for "pig" before "sow" occurred to me. Der...

Can you identify the hill that my companions are contemplating?

Sgurr nan Ceathreamhnan ?

[kmai1961]

Sgurr nan Ceathreamhnan ?

Correct! A year ago next week -- a most excellent day; we stayed at the full-to-the-brim Allbeithe YH on the night before it closed for the season.

Over to you...

[rockhopper]

Option 2 which looks better is Aonach Buidhe.
