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!
Just the same although most are refered as Lochs. Only three are named as lakes sich as Lake of Menteith
Lake of Menteith There is also the Presmennon Lake, a natural lake near Stenton in the Borders. Apparently there are at least two others which are natural, and called Lakes in Scotland, but I have not found them yet.

In Scotland lakes are called lochs. Loch Ness and Loch Lomond are the most important. The major rivers are the Forth, the Clyde, the Tay, the Tweed, the Solway, the Moray, the Spey, the Don and the Dee.
Only one lake in the English Lake District is actually called a lake; other than Bassenthwaite Lake, the others are all "meres" or "waters". Only six bodies of water in Scotland are known as lakes (the others are lochs): the Lake of Menteith, the Lake of the Hirsel, Pressmennan Lake, Cally Lake near Gatehouse of Fleet, the saltwater Manxman's Lake at Kirkcudbright Bay, and The Lake at Fochabers. Of these only the Lake of Menteith and Cally Lake are natural bodies of fresh water. This is what i belive to be correct.
Some bodies of water in Scotland include Loch Ness, Loch Lomond, the Firth of Clyde, and the North Sea. These bodies of water play a significant role in Scotland's landscape and are popular tourist destinations.
In Macbeth, Menteith, Caithness, and Angus are thanes - nobleman warriors of Scotland who join forces against Macbeth in the final battle. They are supportive of Malcolm's efforts to overthrow Macbeth's tyrannical rule and restore order to the kingdom. Menteith and Angus are ultimately victorious in battle, contributing to Macbeth's downfall.
The population of Port of Menteith is 768.
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.
