Yes it is Ben Nevis, 67 miles on a bearing of 204 degrees (should you want to check next time you see it from there). It's not uncommon given the right conditions. It's particularly striking in winter when we have a high pressure system dominating, allowing the Ben and the Grey Corries to stand out against the early evening sky.
Not quite so far - 54 miles - the Bin of Cullen along the Moray coast is usually prominent, along with Ben Rinnes inland, then a clear sweep round to Ben Avon and on to the Northern Corries (48 miles).
Unfortunately the vast bulk of Wyvis and its satellite hills preclude any expansive view west, though the Strathfarrar ridge looks very fine from Fyrish.
