A clue? A clue - my kingdom for a clue. I am literally clueless - any chance of a clue? :shock:

This loch is connected to a much larger one by a small channel. Its name links to a feature on a prominent Corbett nearby, though few would ascend the hill from this side.

The small channel is formed by a sand bar.

We are in the NW.

It is An Teallach in the background, right?
