Time for a clue methinks.........as the crow flies, I'd think it's at least 15km to the nearest munro summit

Corrie nan Each in Kingairloch/Morvern? The Corran Ferry being the quick way over there if coming from the South.

You're pretty close and you have the correct ferry - will give you it if you can name the hill rather than the corrie :)

The ridge looks familiar, could it be Streap? The corrie would be Corie a'Chaorainn?

OK....what's the name of that steep corrie in the distant head wall of yonder dreamy glen beyond the ancient sunken wall festooned with delicious molluscs, crying out to be plucked, steamed and served in a white wine and cream sauce with onions , garlic and white pepper, served with garlic bread and washed down with a piquant unoaked Chardonnay ? (the mussels that is, not the wall. That wouldn't taste nice at all. Probably)

Not sure about the Corrie, but it looks a little like Ben Aden in the background, with the view taken looking across Loch Nevis...

Nooooooo, but not a million miles away. A Highlander would feel at home around here...
