Lone Striker Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 If its a sea loch, I'd guess these hills are on Mull. So you would have been standing near Kilchoan (Mingary Castle) ? Or maybe inland near Salen, overlooking Loch Sunart ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much anguish from the locals due to noise & pollution, iirc. You can see the transmitter lights to the right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
