I think its Fionn Loch, with Suilven out of site to the left.


Spot on :D I remember you wild camped by that loch? I must do that myself one day.

You can always copy a photo from Geograph or another site... Who would know it's not yours? :wink:

As you said, camped there at the other end, one of the best spots ever!


OK, trawled through the archives...

Time for a clue eh?

We are in Sutherland.

The Norse would call it "A Farm on a Beach"

Loch Eriboll, looking south west from the strip of beach that connects to Ard Neackie.

Not named on 1:50k OS but is on 1:25K - one name covers both lochs.

It's all a bit quiet here so here's a clue.

Shetland, I have a loch behind me too.

Papa Stour? There are some nice loch names there, though I don't think they quite match, e.g. Lochs Sholmawick and Seligeo.

The place names there are fabulous.

...but I reckon Lochs of Dridgeo with Loch of Framgord behind you and Muckle Ossa the isle in the far distance.
