Actually that day the cloud was so low that the Cuillins were invisible (and
from the Pass itself, everything was invisible!).
The conical hill which is fully visible left of centre is Glamaig, to its
left, with a crag on the RH slope, but partially obscured by cloud, is
Blabheinn (Blaven). The Cuiliins should have been visible between the two.
The low dark hill in front of Blabheinn is the island of Scalpay, and the
long ridge stretching across the RH half of the image is the island of
Raasay. Both those names preserve the vestiges of their Norse names - -ay
signifying an island.
Next question!

Sweet! I _will_ drive that road in the not tooooo distant future. And if the
good Lord showers me with favors, I shall do it on a motorcycle! (I would
settle, however, for Dreadnaught.)
No doubt the Cuillins in the background of the last one?
