That’s not the name on my map - but just to be sure, whereabouts are you thinking?

Not far away - go due south a few miles.

The ridge in the background links a corbett with a munro.

Not there... it's southern Highlands.

Photo from a different angle. The corries is in the dip beyond the lochan. Note that the name is only shown on the OS 1:25000 map - general location will do.
