I can see why, but no not that one.

However compared to the other suggestions so far you headed in the right direction.

Looks like a clue might be needed, so here's a cryptic one for starters.

"When the mist clears can I spy a hill from this loch."

So now it is a question of which loch under that particular hill. First guess, as I have been toying with it is Loch na Gainimh.

Right hill, wrong loch but we are looking in the right direction.

:clap: Well done.

To be honest I don't know if I could have seen Canisp from where I was standing if the mist had cleared.

I think you can, as far as I can remember but your clue was asking the question so a good and justifiable clue. In anycase Suilven is more difficult to make into a cryptic clue. This photo was taken just above the lodge, just a bit higher than your photo

Anyway back to the subject of this forum. This one should go quickly even though it is quite a dark photo.
