Jings! I loathe that car rallying in the forest tracks, I keep thinking someone is bound to get horribly killed to death, and they do. Now I have to find a picture of a loch...

Yes indeed it is. We got there on a beautiful sunny day, had a magnificent sunset, then it precipitated down for days until it was time to go home, when of course the sun came out again. Over to you.

Thanks! I had a similar experience with the weather on my only visit there, back in around 1979. But on the one sunny day (arrival day) I took a photo of the Torridon hills from the lochside, and the magnificent outline of the hills has stuck in my memory!

What is this loch?

I recognise it as somewhere I've been, but can't match the photo up with any satellite imagery.

Loch Carron maybe?
