Thanks Kaye. I have an almost exact replica of your photo when en route to Sgùrr Gaorsaic and camped on the shores of the loch.

What is the name of this loch ?

Cheers, took a bit of finding, but I was thinking it was the top of Cam Loch behind, and that's what got me the angle on L a P R?

wild guess again: Loch Lurgainn?
at least I would say it is in Assynt and I think i recognize part of the shapw of Stac Pollaidh in the clouds??? But may be I am completely wrong

Not Lurgainn, but the rest of your logic is pretty good!
