The Carn Mairg range over Gleann Mòr from the side of Schiehallion Not exactly sure of the camera position but somewhere on a rough line (no path) up Schiehallion.  Soon cloud was entered and route-finding became a little nerve wracking.  I climbed the main peaks of the Carn Mairg range eighteen months later.  In this view Meall Liath is in the centre with Meall nan Eun to the left.  The main peak of Carn Mairg is in cloud right of centre.  Position for image supported by using the 3D aerial facility in OS Mapping but could be lower on the side of Schiehallion.
