The mountain pictured looks like Stob Coire na Ceannain in the Grey Corries, not Aonach Mor. Can anyone confirm this and if this is the case, replace it with an appropriate image? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by StuzzyW (talkcontribs) 00:22, 6 February 2007 (UTC).Reply

The photo here has been cropped slightly — take a look at the original on Geograph. I don't claim to be certain, but I think you're right. I think the mountain in the mid-distance rising to the left is Cruach Insse, and on the right is Stob Coire na Gaibhre, and the two snow-covered peaks framed in between them are Stob Coire na Ceannain (the pointy one to the left) and Stob Choire Claurigh (the flatter, apparently lower one to the right). The problem is that from the right angle the Aonach Beag / Aonach Mor ridge can look quite similar (Aonach Beag being the pointy one and Aonach Mor flatter to the right), and from near Roybridge, the ridges north over Beinn na Socaich and Tom na Sroine would flank the view of the summits as in this picture. But Aonach Mor should appear to be nearer the camera than Aonach Beag which it doesn't. So I think you're probably right. — ras52 00:58, 8 February 2007 (UTC)Reply
