There is actually only one lake in Scotland: the Lake of Menteith.
But there are lots of lochs:
The largest loch in Scotland by surface area is Loch Lomond, situated 14 miles north of Scotland's largest city - Glasgow. It is 24 miles long and up to 5 miles wide, with a total surface area of 27 square miles.
The largest loch in Scotland by volume is Loch Ness, situated near to the city of Inverness in the Highlands & Islands. It is 22 square miles in surface area. However, at its deepest point, it is 754 feet deep - over twice the height of the Statue of Liberty in New York City. The volume of fresh water in Loch Ness is greater than of all other lakes in England and Wales combined.

Which is the only lake in Scotland called lake?
The only reason really is because in Scotland we speak 'Doric' which is not a different language, but more of an accent. In Scotland, the word for lake is loch, so this is why most of the lakes in Scotland are called lochs. I think 'Lake Ness' and 'Lake Lomond' sound funny as well! Fun Fact: Puddock means 'frog' in Doric!
