Walked through there in May 2003....I regularly participated in the annual TGOC, The UKs largest backpacking event where you plan your own route C2C (limits were set on start points, finish anywhere between Arbroath and Fraserburgh).
My event records show I enjoyed 2 dry days from the Cluanie Inn to another wild camp just outside Drumnadrochit before crossing L Ness and into the Monadhliath Mountains. I camped ( illegally) at the E end of L Affric in the evening, used the picnic tables and toilet facilities. Pure luxury after using a trenching tool and cooking in a tiny tent out of the rain.
Two days superb walking. The other 13 days it rained. I’d forgotten just how miserable it could be backpacking day after day in the rain. Scotland can be soooo depressing at times.
