Thanks Tim!

This is one of a set with a collective name on the 1:25k map.

The outline of the hill in the background looked familiar - so I dug through my old photos and found this.

Not quite the same lochan, but I think they have the collective name of Lochan Beinn na h-Eaglaise.

that's right - above the pass of Brander. According to the 1:25000 OS map it is called Lochan na Cuaig.

over to you!

I believe that to be Loch Avon, in the Cairngorms?
