Thx, BP, a wonderful spot! :D

Heading off tomorrow for the weekend so, expect this one to go quickly.

Several lochs here, in and out of the cloud, looking for the one left of the ridge, with the islet...

Photo taken from a Munro Top, one of several in the immediate area.

Loch an Eich Dhuibh

I finally recognised Sail Mhor from the "wrong" side.

Nice one, Mal, cloud and mist rolling in and out that day, didn't look "right" at the time either and had to check the map to confirm. Thought the haar on the coast added to the confusion, had sat there for 15-20mins and watched it envelop the Summer Isles and, eventually, Little Loch Broom.

Over to you :clap:

Spot on, Sherlock :wink:
Not a well known spot, but a great walk from Kinochleven.
