Ben Rinnes View.
This shot was taken just below the summit (and cloud base) of Ben Rinnes. The following info is about the mountain itself and not the view from it.
From the "Friends of Ben Rinnes" web site.
The beautiful and distinctive outline of Ben Rinnes (840m, 2775ft) is one of the best loved landmarks in Banffshire. Its broad ridges offer fine walking on high moorland and granite reminiscent of its nearby relatives, the Cairngorms. From the granite tors of its summit one can see eight counties (Aberdeenshire, Banffshire, Moray, Nairnshire, Inverness-shire, Ross and Cromarty, Sutherland and Caithness) and on a clear day even the Moray coast, the views in all directions are superb, ranging far over the Moray Firth to the hills of Sutherland and Caithness in the north and Lochnagar, the Cairngorms and Monadhliath in the south and west.
Ben Rinnes is classed as a Corbett, these are mountains between 2,500ft (762m) and 2,999ft (915m) high with at least 500ft (152m) of drop on all sides. These are one step down from the Munro's whose heights are over 3,000ft (915m).
