Here's a link to the photo I took on the weekend on my way to Killin:

I was standing in the wee car park at Glen Ogle (where there's always a snack van) and took this photograph facing vaguely north. Can anyone please tell me the names of these mountains?

If not, here's my opinion as to the mountains you're trying to identify. I think they are collectively known as The Tarmarchan Ridge. To verify that, if you go into Google Earth and go to the village of Killin (FK21, UK). Just at the point where the road crosses the river between Clachaig and Killin (South West side of Killin), go into street view at Clachaig just before you'd be going onto the bridge (approx. 20 metres where there's a group of people) at the Falls of Dochart. Pan the view North looking across the bridge slightly to the right and look up........ you should see your mountains there! The middle top is (I think) Meall an Tarmachan, the right hand one I think I Beinn Ghlas. The far left one I'm not sure but could be Beinn nan Eachan
