Category:Lakes of Scotland

This category is for article relating to lakes in Scotland, that is to say freshwater lochs, regardless of name.

For all lochs, freshwater and sea lochs, see Category:Lochs of Scotland.

Note:

Only one natural body of water in Scotland is referred to as a lake, Lake of Menteith, because of a 19th century mistranslation of the Scots word laigh (English: low).

At least seven artificial bodies of water (Smeaton Lake, Pressmennan Lake, Lake Louise (within the grounds of Skibo Castle), Pitfour Lake (near Mintlaw), Hirsel Lake (near Coldstream), Cally Lake (near Gatehouse of Fleet) and the imaginatively named The Lake (in the grounds of Gordon Castle near Fochabers)) are also referred to as lakes. See also loch.
