Name that Loch!

Time for a clue...

I'm standing on a Munro summit, looking north-east. There are more Munros on the other side of the loch in question.

Sorry, not this one...
It's north of Great Glen.

Loch Fannich and if so would you be on Fionn Bheinn?

Yep, that's the one :D

More tricky to guess when the dam is not visible :wink:

There was just enough information in the picture to work through the east-west reservoirs on the maps.

So here's the next one.

Looks like a clue is required.

If you carried on past this loch you'd reach the start of a walk with four Munros to the north of another.

Not Loch Doine - so you're right about the trees.

Looks like another clue required.

You can almost see this view with Google street view, I'm standing by a ford.

I've included the picture again in case it gets carried over to a new page.
