It was all snow-white when we did that route :D

Next one, should be easy. For Corbett collectors - name this loch:

Clue: the ridge in the background is a Corbett. Picture was taken while descending from another Corbett. And it's north of Inverness.

That's the one! Taken when descending Meall Horn. One of my favourite areas (after Torridon) :D

hint 1 - you'd see it en route to a graham/donald loop in the SW
hint 2 - the loch shares its name with a well known river in the NE

That would be Loch Dee.

Just over a wee bit from Glen Trool.
