Name that Loch!

I figured it might be that area of Assynt given it's one of the more likely places to be portaging canoes. Is it the most northerly point of Loch Sionasgaig? I'd guess you've come from Fionn Loch.

It is Sionasgaig indeed, and yes, the bay at the north end having come from Fionn Loch, and about to head for Tick Island (Eilean Mor).

Sionasgaig is normally easy to identify by the iconic hills on all sides, not so easy with the clouds!

Where is this?

I can see the resemblance but no, not there!

Not Loch Awe, it's much smaller. I'd guess that most have driven past this loch, perhaps many times, but relatively few will have stopped.

That does fit the description but no, it's north of the Great Glen.

Cheers

I have indeed driven past it many times, mostly on the way from Gerry's to the pub in Lochcarron or Strathcarron!



The loch right of centre?

It wasn't hard to find a narrow peninsula with a loch with a tiny island :D

I'm fast running out of photos. Where's this?
