More clues in this 7 minute plus video. I put it together for my companions , but there's the odd good shot of North West Scotland. We would have benefited from bikes to access some of the more remote hills. That would be a good subject for a thread. 'Bike accessed walks.'

Think it may be from Quinag with Ben Hope in the far distance thro the gap looking N-E.

That looks like Ben Loyal, which would put the burial ground on the west side of the Kyle of Tongue just next to the bridge ...

It is indeed, the Melness area to the north of the causeway is interesting with some nice beaches including the sandbar at the head of the Kyle. But where is this?

Alltnacaillich, near Dun Dornaigil broch
The hill behind is Ben Hope.

I should have spoken earlier. I was thinking of Gobernuisgach Lodge from near the beginning, but the slope there is wrong, and I couldn't see anywhere suitable downstream via google earth, and didn't think to try streetview.
When I was there in May, I was probably too busy looking at the broch to turn round.

No idea but it sure looks nice !

Is that the track heading south of the A896 that passes Loch Clair on the way to Coulin Lodge?

Bit of guess as it was very foggy when me and mrs chris camped down there about 20 years ago and it was raining when we left the next morning so we didn't see any scenery.

A9 north of Inverness?

Nah, it's the Lochee Road.

chris · « **Reply #3258 on:** 25 October, 2010, 11:15:29 pm »

If it wasn't for the backdrop it could be almost any of the country lanes down here in Northamptonshire

David Martin · « **Reply #3259 on:** 25 October, 2010, 11:18:31 pm »

Not Glen Muck. Not Linn of Dee. Not Jocks Road, and not the Larig Ghru. That narrows it down not very much at all.

It does look rather like the Cairngorms.
Maybe Glen Einich? It has a few fords.

Tewdric · « **Reply #3261 on:** 25 October, 2010, 11:47:38 pm »

Somewhere near Stroud?

RJ · « **Reply #3262 on:** 26 October, 2010, 01:13:15 pm »

Glen Tilt?

Glen Einich it is.

, Braeriach on the left.
I did give the ford a go on the way back, but only got half way through.

We nearly did that route when we were up there recently - what a shame we missed it ! Still, one to add to next year's agenda...

Who else has been here? Any ideas as to the origin of these things? No not me, the statue parts.

Jaded · « **Reply #3266 on:** 07 November, 2010, 01:01:00 am »

That's a perfect mimic of the statue in the 2nd pic.

It's the end-scene from Jack & The Beanstalk

Is that true? I know nothing of that fable.

Not sure but it reminds me of one of the pools on Cader Idris.

andyoxon · « **Reply #3271 on:** 26 November, 2010, 12:21:07 am »

Have a go at this - while thinking about others...

chris · « **Reply #3272 on:** 26 November, 2010, 07:38:32 am »

Is that the Gigha ferry?

andyoxon · « **Reply #3273 on:** 26 November, 2010, 05:00:08 pm »

No, but it is a Caledonian MacBrayne ferry, as you can probably tell.
