The loch bordered by mountains is Loch Katrine at the western end of the Trossachs. 
The mountain at the far end of the loch is probably Ben A’an. 

The island is Eilean Molach (or Ellen’s Isle), 
the setting of Sir Walter Scott’s Lady of the Lake.

"By many a bard, in Celtic tongue,
Has Coire-nan-Uriskin been sung,
A softer name the Saxons gave,
And call'd the grot the Goblin-cave."
