Thought this one would go quickly (even although it's an old photo).

Clue - it's in an area not known for munros :wink:

Here's a couple of lochs, both named on OS maps, so either one will do but give the locality too in case there are more than one with the same name..

It's Loch an Ellen and Loch Airde Glais according to OS. It's the lochs seen from the Glenmore road on Mull. Taken from the parking area on the road or not far from there? A fantastic spot, nice photo. :D
