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!

Of these only the Lake of Menteith and Cally Lake are natural bodies of fresh water. This is what i belive to be correct.
