Rockhopper, I wouldn't have beaten you to it if you hadn't asked if it was islands - I was scouring maps of the Cairngorms! You take the next one.

Pow! Straight in there. I wanted to use a picture of the loch below the Stone Chute, but it doesn't have a name on my map.

Take it away Caberfeidh.

The one in Corrie Laggan below the Stone Chute from Sgurr Alasdair is just called Lochan a Corrie Laggan. I fished it once, I do not believe there are any fish in it at all. Here is another frozen loch, but lower in altitude.

Clue ~ it is a sea-loch, despite the ice. This was taken about ten years ago during those terrible two winters when the sea froze.
