The road up to Fort William has loads of views like that. Might be a good starting point...

If it was on the road to Fort William then I'd say it's possibly near the start of Glen Coe.

Nice bit of the Country, once saw a Deer get burst in half by a bus going over Ranoch Moor Sick

Looks like something from Glen Coe, only been over there a few times. But it does look familiar.

Looks to me like it may be the Buachaille Etive Mor (my favourite Mountain and Glen in the whole of Scotland). It doesn't look like the normal angle that is pictured, but is quite similar to this image of it.

Just my guess from hundreds of miles away!!

Not Glen Coe, wrong type of rock strata.

I think it might be Liathach or Ben eighe, both in the Torridons.

Thumbs Up
