This is by Allt an Lochain Uaine and An Lochan Uaine:

Aig Allt an Lochain Uaine: Sinton, Poetry of Badenoch, 189 [poem by 1800]

Angel’ s Peak: this name is a pure invention, being attributed to Mr Alex. Copland, one of the founders of the Cairngorm Club; the local people had no such name; to them it was Sgor an Lochain Uaine, the Crag of the Green Loch. A. M. Alexander, Some Name-Pronunciations, Cairngorm Journal 1946, 268

Below its scree run face and old pines is An Lochan Uaine, the green loch, which really is a bottle green in colour produced by local mineral leaching.: N. Macgregor, ‘Gaelic Place-names in Strathspey’ , 1993

ˌskɔrn̩ lo̤χɐnˈuɐn: A. Watson 1984, 136
