Here's a link to the photo I took on the weekend on my way to Killin:

I was standing in the wee car park at Glen Ogle (where there's always a snack van) and took this photograph facing vaguely north. Can anyone please tell me the names of these mountains?

Probably part of The Grampians known as Breadalbane

I'll guess at either the 3 peaks at Meall Taurnie, Meall Ghaordie and Beinn an Oighreag, which are all to the left of Killin itself, or:


Meall nan Tarmachan, which stands in front of Beinn Ghlas and Ben Lawers. Meall Corranaich is also behind Beinn Ghlas, but the angle of the pic may just be hiding it.


Ben Lawers is the highest munro behind Killin - (were the falls frozen?) and if you have the power line (power station at Murlaganmore behind Killin) in the right of the pic, so as you have the fall of the hill in front of you running away from the pic, if you want to check the area, see the maps at http://www.multimap.com and put in Glen Ogle and see if you can get a feel for the direction you were facing.


Scalable zoom in, so you can see the car park at the Glen plus zoom out for area views.


See pic at : http://images.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://www.killin.net/photos_files/Loch-Tay-%26-Ben-Lawers.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.killin.net/photos.htm&h=158&w=300&sz=7&tbnid=30yBkWpTlDWjuM:&tbnh=58&tbnw=111&hl=en&start=127&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dben%2Blawers%26start%3D120%26svnum%3D10%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26sa%3DN which is similar, so hope that helps.

Nice picture by the way.
