Sorry, been offline for a day or so.

Neither Moidart or Maree are correct, but they share a common letter or two with the loch in question.

That was quick! I can see the resemblance to Loch Brandy, but it is indeed Loch Dubh.

The photo was taken in late April and there was more snow on the plateau than now :(
