(For those wondering what is going on - the photo across Loch Tay is taken at the entrance of Tomnadash Mine. Also known as the Cave of Caerbannog from the Search for the Holy Grail)

If only I'd known! Is there anywhere to park or do I have to hoof it with a couple of half coconuts from Kenmore?

Not really any parking other than a km or so West at entrance to woodland.

It's worth a wander up and into the old mine.

Can we leave all this silliness behind, and get back to the serious business of naming Lochs???

This one is pretty distinctive...

Could be looking down from Sgurr Dubh Mor at the unnamed lochan in Coire an Lochain, Cuillin, Skye.

I'm 99.9% sure that BP has it, but maybe Alteknacker has forgotten he posted this? :wink:
