The colour of the water is misleading. Unlike nearby lochs, this one has a fringe of unpleasant filamentous algae and the water itself is quite turbid. This reason for this could be the presence of a large number of geese and swans with their resultant deposits. This would be made worse by the lack of meaningful rain for about two months. A pity as it's in a lovely setting.
