Clue: the loch is artificial. The photo was taken near a dam, which is category B listed building.

It is indeed. Not a well known view as it's not en route to any popular hills... A nice local walk though :D

All yours!

Perhaps clue was too cryptic. How about a slightly different angle?

Long shot (looks familiar-ish) - Turret?

Maybe a long shot - but clearly a good aim!

Loch Turret it is, and you drive up past the Famous Grouse Experience.
