Not there, but you are in the right general area of the Highlands.

The hill on the left is a Mhor, the hill on the right a Bheag.

Where is this apparently unnamed but very well known corrie?

I suppose that if you recognise it, you could give it a name...??? (although I'd argue it already has one, just not shown explicitly on the map)

Is that the peak of Bidean nam Benn above Glen Coe on the right?

It's Stob Coire nan Lochan on the right isn't it? I thought that's what Caberfeidh was referring to.

I was thinking it was Bidean nam Bian, above the Church Door Buttress.

That's it. Sailors can't tell the difference between port and starboard... :D

Thanks Alteknacker (not that I can claim much credit :roll:)

What is the name of the shallow corrie in the centre of this photo?
