The loch just visible on the right is infamous for its rollercoaster 3/4 track road...

OK.

The just-visible loch was famously crossed on a Therm-a-rest by one of the WH community, in search of an "easy" way to get to a rather isoloted Munro. She didn't say whether she heard the roaring.....

I think I must be misunderstanding which Coire Leacach you were referring to - I was thinking of the one about 15km east of Ballachulish.

Even worse, I wasn't aware that there was a Coire Sgreamhach - only that there's a Stob Coire Sgreamhach....

OK, another clue: the latitude is more or less the same as Armadale.

Oh dear, I'm clearly very bad at this.

Clue: it's in the range immediately south of the South Shiel Ridge...
