Nope although from the map it looks similar. Mine is a good bit further north and probably more often walked passed.

I feel a clue is needed!

The corrie is eponymous with the Munro behind it.

Thanks!

The corrie on the right of this photo is nameless on the OS map, but it has a small lochan in it, so the name of the lochan (or the hill I'm standing on) will do.

Cheers Tim.

What's the name of this sprawling corrie we're peering down into?

I think this is a corrie with two levels. The upper part is called Lota Corrie, the lower part Harta Corrie?
