Clue 2: it's Panther's home territory. We're close to a famous circular route including 4 Munros...

Is it Coire Mhuillidh? With Sgurr na Ruaidhe in the background and Garbh-Charm in the foreground, taken from Carn Gorm?

You're very close. Not Coire Mhuillidh and not from Carn Gorm, but you mentioned the right group of Munros. :D

The Graham I'm standing on is sometimes added to the round of above mentioned Munros... If you are super fit!

Coire na Faochaige? In the background is Carn Eiteige (L) and Sgurr na Fearstaig (R) with Sgurr na Muice front right and you're on Beinn na Muice?

I've not been near the area but that's what I think I see on the OS map from the image... :)

Yep, that's the one. Not a popular view... How many people actually bother to climb Beinn na Muice :lol:

All yours!

Clue... it may look impressive but we're looking towards a mere Graham top, Tump and Simm.

Not sure if this is correct as the coire doesn't have a name on the 1:50k but that looks a lot like Glas Bheinn Mor at the back?

It has a name, you're on the right lines, you just need to invest in a better map, or zoom in on an electronic map... :shock:
