I knew this one immediately, but am running out of photos of lochs! Hoping somebody else will join in, if not will post the answer and if I'm right I'm sure I'll find something!

I have been looking at all of these.
The two mountains in the background look as though they should be famous.

Post a clue and take it from there perhaps :?:

A bit of a cryptic clue

A sea loch so bound to be rough on the shore.

Phew.

I have a very similar photo, hence recognised it immediately you posted it! Glad somebody else gets a go.

I thought the last one looked familiar but just couldn't place it.......despite the fact that I must've been looking straight at it from a camping spot only a few months ago :roll: :roll:

West end of Loch Mullardoch ?

Lochan na Stainge? Or Lochan na Achlaise? Or Loch Ba? That bit in the middle of them where there are lots of accidents because folk stop quickly with an overwhelming desire to take a photo...
