Clue: I was standing on the main Scottish watershed: this loch drains east via a reservoir and a well-known set of waterfalls.

Just before the reservoir, there river that flows from this loch passes a weather station and goes under a main road.

You're drifting among the islands of western Loch Morar, I think.

Loch Morar it is :clap:

Loch Maree is, as far as I know, the only other loch that has islands similar to this, so also a good guess.
