Heaven knows ! Loch Fyne ?

Not Loch Fyne either. If it's any help, you're both right to guess loches on the west coast....

Loch Creran

Further north.

Loch Shin

Ooo, not that far north. (And it's a sea loch.)

Little Loch Broom

Still too far north.

The loch in question feeds into another sea loch.

Upper Loch Torridon? $:-\$

Loch Etive?

αdαmsκι · « **Reply #3318 on:** 12 December, 2010, 08:15:26 pm »

Upper Loch Torridon is too far north (and too wide).

Loch Etive is too far south (although it's a lot closer than Upper Loch Torridon).

Edit

A clue: Daylight600

The first one will do. Taken from here looking west.

Proved trickier than I'd expected, tho I should have realised it could have been any number of Scottish lochs.

Good one! The hill in the background looked as if it ought to be distinctive somehow.

I tried to check the view from that campsite using google maps 3D view (location selected after a consideration of OS maps), and decided that it wasn't the right place

I'll obviously have to practice driving google maps more.

A much easier one, I'm sure.
