I was going to say "give us another clue" but finally had time to trawl maps. Took me a while, they're not very distinctive hills, but it was the "similar name" bit that got me to this guess.

Coire an Iubhair Beag?

The Munro above the corrie is named after the corrie. North of the Great Glen.

Yep, that's the one. Far less visited than its Torridonian namesake, I suspect. Has a great view from it too, and probably a few good looking wild camp spots.

Your go...again!

I think I've stumbled across that almost accidentally very quickly. Looked like Torridonian in the foreground and just scrolled around the area looking for the lochans!

OK, the big corrie in front of the distant peaks, behind the foreground hill?

The left and central peaks are part of one of the real classic days in the Scottish hills.
