The accompanying text, taken from the volume 'Scottish Loch Scenery' by Thomas A. Croal, begins as follows
"It is perhaps puzzling to the stranger to learn that Loch-na-gar is a mountain, 3768 feet above the level of the sea, though there is on the summit, and hemmed in by steep precipices, a small sheet of water that gives its name to the hill. But in the Dhu Loch, a little further in the heart of this mountainous district, we find one of the most striking scenes in Scotland.[...]The Dhu Loch, or black loch - a well deserved name - has its bed, as shown in our view, in steep and desperate perecipices of granite, and for sternness of outline is not excelled."
