The other photos have been geo-tagged as on or around the summit. For less busy mountains, it can be a little hit and miss.

Lochan a' Choire
The loch tucked away in the corrie below Geal Charn and Beinn Sgiath in the Monadhliath. Looking at the map this view is *just* inside the boundary of the Cairngorms National Park.
