In front of the embankment of the dam, a valve tower can be seen on the right: NS3778 : Carman Reservoir: valve tower.

On the skyline, slightly right of centre, Uamh Mhòr is in front of Uamh Bheag (NN6810, 45 km, 28 miles), both snow-covered. To the left of that, without snow, is Beinn Dearg (NN589038, 34 km, 21 miles). Among the snow-covered peaks at the far left is Meall Odhar (NN6414, 45 km, 28 miles).

Carman Reservoir

Known locally as the Dam. See Link (in a Geograph article) for further information. The reservoir, which was officially opened in 1886, is now disused; there is a trout fishery based alongside it. Carman Reservoir was created by damming and enlarging an existing Carman Loch, which was itself artificial: the loch had been created in connection with the nearby Millburn Works; it was also occasionally used for curling.
