This highlight should be named Loch Allt an Daraich NOT Loch Maree.
The latter can be seen from here but is the much larger loch lower down.

Loch Allt an Daraich is a small mountain loch at an altitude of approximately 518 meters in the Beinn Eighe National Nature Reserve. It lies along the descent of the Beinn Eighe Mountain Trail and provides a visual respite after reaching the summit. The loch has an irregular shoreline of approximately 550 meters and is relatively shallow. Its location in an open quartzite plateau offers a serene atmosphere and a chance to cool off on hot days. The loch marks the start of the final section of the trail.
