We did Creag a'Mhadaidh from Loch Errochty side, never saw the view to the south due to cloud...

This one should go quickly. We are going away for the weekend so I'm posting something (I think) obvious. Name the smaller loch in the foreground:

Time for a clue.
The loch is in a high corrie below a well known Munro, part of a large round.
It's Panther's home territory :D

Loch Tuill Bhearnach, below Sgurr nan Clach Geala?

The image, clue and the reservoir in the background seem to match.

Loch Assynt maybe? The hill in the background reminds me of Canisp.
