I was sitting on the bus from Perth to Aberdeen when I was looking your photo, thought it was Loch Spey, was going to check my photo from Creag a Bhanain when I got home but your clue clinched it. I couldn't remember the name of the nearer loch

This photo has been heavily cropped but what is the name of the nearest loch in the foreground

Time for a clue. The "loch" in the distance is actually the sea and the photo is heavily cropped for a reason.

Clue 2, My walk took me past 2 points of interest (to me) one a 1/14th of the height of the other (approximately).

Clue 3, The larger structure ( that I was interested in) is approx 80 years older than the smaller structure.

Yes, that's the one. Below is the uncropped photo and also the photos of Stoer Lighthouse and Point of Stoer Trig point ( the 2 structures)
