No and Yes!

The pimple is An Laogh, on the flanks of Cul Mor, but you are right with Loch an Doire Dhuibh.

Your turn. :clap:

Are they the Glenhead Lochs, i.e. Long Loch and Round Loch of Glenhead, near Glen Trool, Galloway?

Arrrr, Galloway was me old stomping ground, way back last century!
Now I have to find a picture of a loch. I hope I haven't used this one before...

Think you may have posted the same rock but from a different direction before but am not certain. Loch Linnhe ?

Yes indeed, the stone stands in a field at Onich, near North Ballachulish. The neighbouring house has a very grumpy old bag living in it, who dislikes anyone going into the field to look at the stone, so be sure and do so. :D

OK, here's the lochan in an uncropped photo with another loch in the distance which may make it a bit easier
