Because of the density of water, it does not heat up as quickly when exposed to light, and is, therefor, colder than the air around it. This means that the water is constantly pulling heat energy from the air around it, making the air directly above a body of water colder than that above land, and because colder, denser air conducts sound more readily than warmer air, sound travels more efficiently over a lake than over land.

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.
