A very odd lochan. There's nothing particularly unusual about this tiny, unnamed lochan close to the B8011, but maybe the cartographer made a mistake? The map shows a black outline around the loch, indicating [usually] tidal water, but it would seem unusual for the tide to reach 75 metres above its normal level.

Druim Mor Long stretches of the B8011 have been realigned, as here. The old single-track road is off to the left of this photo. Older maps, showing the previous alignment, may confuse.

Druim Mor These twin cairns are conspicuous from the B8011, indeed there is a parking space nearby, but they do not mark a summit or other feature and I have not established the reason for their presence. Recently the B8011 has been realigned and upgraded to a two-lane road. The original, single-track route is clearly seen above the right-hand cairn. The modern road can just be seen to the right of the base of that cairn.
