Loch Alsh, looking towards Skye, with the lower slopes of Beinn na Caillich on the left, and the Red Cuillin, and a hint of Black, in the distance.

Correct, from the viewpoint above Eilean Donan. Back to you again!

I've got so few photos I haven't previously posted that I almost didn't bother posting an answer, but I'd spent a bit of (enjoyable) time working out angles and corrie shapes so it seemed a shame not to.

Back with another in a bit.

I had no idea at first but I think I've found it - Loch Shiel, about a mile east of St Finan's Chapel?

Good detective work! Yes, its the beach at Camas Blathain, a fine spot.

I needed the west coast clue to narrow it down, and a panorama generator to confirm I had the right spot :)

We need to get the Scotland thread going again because I'm almost out of suitable loch photos. Here's my next one, where am I?

This is on a walk that circles the lower slopes of a Munro. The two snowy summits are another Munro and a Corbett.

Could it be Loch an Eoin, with Sgurr Ruadh and a bit of Fuar Tholl in the background?
