Where was I?

Two Munros more familiar from a different direction. What are they and where am I standing?

I did the section of the Cuillin Ridge from Sgurr a' Mhadaidh to Sgurr na Banachdich with a guide – I'm not a rock climber, and I found some of it quite hairy!😮

Heather Valley: Sgurr na Banachdich on Skye is an interesting one. It is translated as either Milkmaids Peak or Smallpox Peak. The reason is not a deficiency in the Gaelic language.

Heather Valley: Cioch na h-Oighe is a mountain on Arran - see if you can find out what that name means! 😮😮

gem1000: Hello Meg. From your profile picture you are no stranger to the highlands. I'm guessing you were heading towards the Mamores from Kinlochleven.

John and Paul, I am so enjoying your fabulous photos and your shared knowledge of so many beautiful places 😊

top_spot (john): This view was fresh in my mind, as we did Sgor na h- Ulaidh back in February, in perfect weather. We didn't go as far north along the ridge from Stob an Fhuarain as you did, by the looks of where you took this shot from, we descended before the top of 845m.

Helvellyn40: Perfect answer Paul!
