Hi Andy,

I've had a look at them all, sorry for the delay in replying, it takes me an age as I'm on dial-up.

I reckon it's the first one, Suisgill.

Heading towards and not far from Helmsdale ( which I called Helms Deep by accident a few times ) I pulled over into a passing place on the wrong side of the road, took the photograph from there looking towards the broch, the stream's not visible from my angle of view but the railway line is, then behind that the hill rises very steeply.

Thanks for all your help,

Rune
