Whyte's Dam
The picture was taken from NS4275 : Milton Brae.
A local name for what the map calls Loch Bowie is Whyte's Dam (or White's Dam), perhaps named after the Whytes of NS4275 : Barnhill House; see NS4275 : Whyte's Dam for a different view, and for further information.
The name Loch Bowie is related to nearby Dumbowie Hill (see Link for details) whose two summits can be seen in the background, centre and right, of the present picture. On one of those summits are the remains of a fort, Dunbuie Dun (for which, see the link just given).
In the background, on the left, is part of Dumbuck Hill (on which, see NS4274 : Dumbuck Quarry).
