Greadhaidh, with Sgurr Thuilm behind? From the climb to Banachdaich near An Diallaid at a guess.

I well remember the relief of reaching that bealach after the "somewhat exposed" :shock: descent from Mhadaidh!

Technically, that's not the one I wanted, that's the one behind in the background against the flank of Moruisg. However, that would be being picky, as its in the photo! The coire is indeed on Sgurr nan Ceannaichean, and is called Am Fliuch-choire on my map.

Over to you!

Thank you, Mal :D I thought about Coire Toll nam Bian first as it's the usual descent route from the Munro-Corbett traverse (quite a lot of fun and games in winter conditions, ha ha ha).
The next one... Name the nice corrie in the middle of this mountain ridge:
