Dear slowcoach and David Wilson, Thanks for this identification. A quick check of the Ordnance Survey and Google Earth suggests that in the foreground is the River Garry flowing out of the Loch. The revised record will appear here in due course. Brian Wilkinson Britain from Above Activity Officer (Scotland). |

I agree this looks like Loch Garry. The 1947 OS map shows that the water level did used to be lower. The peninsula at the east end became islands in 2012 OS map, after dams raised the water level. |

I am fairly sure that this is Loch Garry, taken from somewhere in the vicinity of Invergarry (NH310010) looking west. The water level must be fairly low for the islands in the near end of the loch to appear as large as they do here. |
