Calm and peaceful, as any loch could be (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

halcyon

'calm and peaceful' is the definition.
(halcyon can mean calm or idyllic)

'any loch could be' is the wordplay.
'could be' is an anagram indicator.
'any'+'loch'='anyloch'
'anyloch' with letters rearranged gives 'HALCYON'.

'as' is the link.

(Other definitions for halcyon that I've seen before include "Peaceful; golden" , "undisturbed" , "Calm and happy - kingfisher" , "Such days are calm and happy" , "Prosperous" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
