Name that Corrie!

Another clue, another view...

Taken from the same spot as the other two photos.

I am on a Munro, and there are two Munros in the first photo with the corrie, and one also ( summit in cloud) in the second photo.

Further clue: the WH route climbs one of the Munros in the first photo in combination with the one I’m standing on - a strenuous and reportedly boggy route.

I approached the hill I’m on, which has a slightly unusual name, by an easier and interesting route from the east.

Running out of clues! - the photos are all from a fairly recent TR of mine - a walk that was notable for me not just because of the hills, but the skies too...

In the latest pic are we looking at the two munros to the West of Glen ogle and Lochearnhead?

That's correct :clap: - the distant cloud topped hills are Creag Mac Ranaich and Meall an t-Seallaidh, above Glen Dochart.

I am on the summit of a Munro, and the corrie is in nearly the opposite direction from those hills.

I think you were on Sgiath Chuil, looking towards Meall Glas, with Coire na Saobhaidhe in the foreground.
