Name that Corrie!

Hint: The ridge at the back, particularly the hill at the righthand end, should help with identification, and the corrie is only named on the OS 1:25k not he 1:50k...

Cheers!

Can you name the prominent corrie here? Bonus points for the shallow one in the foreground as well!

Clue: the hill is a Munro, east of the A9.

Maybe a tricky one from a weird angle....

We're descending the ridge to the N of this summit. In the Trossachs.

Thanks Larry. Sticking with the Corrie below a summit theme, name this one:

This hill is just a Hump but the one behind it is a Munro.

I was going to suggest Coire Dubh of Cruach Ardrain, but there's no forestry there, so I guess it's not...
