The gps coordinates for this location is not correct, it's actually the same as this spot: https://www.locationscout.net/united-kingdom/4994-old-man-of-storr-from-loch-leathan and as you can see from this streetview on google: https://goo.gl/maps/okJUDcpfLW22 Is it possible to update your location

Actually the spot you have marked on the map is according to me not correct. It this spot which has the correct location: https://www.locationscout.net/united-kingdom/4994-old-man-of-storr-from-loch-leathan (google street view link: https://goo.gl/maps/okJUDcpfLW22)

Nope, I have checked and I can find the exact spot I stood to take the photo. The line from that spot between the trees and through the little island to the 'Old Man' lines up perfectly.

I looked at your web site Peter - nice landscapes. I am particularly interested in northern Italy and the Dolomites. It's on my bucket list :-)

strange because my shot of the 3 same boats are from Loch Fada beside the road, which is the lake south of this lake spot. Take a look at the road on the left, how close it is to the lake, it doesn't match this location, and there is only 1 house on this road (on the left of your picture)

Dear all, quite a while after your comments, but anyway: I've edited the location, now it's better I think.

Uploaded another shot from the same location, sometime three boats are lying there which you also can use as foreground. Exact same spot, a bit of another view.

This is a great picture! I will check your spot very carefully as I will be on the Isle Of Skye this year may!!! If you have any special location you want to share with me I would really appreaciate this. I want to take a photo from a small tree that is located at Quiraings but I am not 100% sure of it`s location. Can you tell?

Thank you for your like, When i was on the Isle of Skye, i had very rainy wether. Due to that, i wasn't at the Quiraings for shooting photo's and i can't give you an advice for the location with the small tree.
