The only reason really is because in Scotland we speak 'Doric' which is not a different language, but more of an accent.

Fun Fact: Puddock means 'frog' in Doric!

The Lake of Menteith in Stirlingshire is the only 'natural lake' in Scotland which is not called a 'loch', there are also two man made lakes, Pressmennan Lake in East Lothian and Cally Lake in DumfriesMy understanding is that the Lake of Menteith is the only "lake" amongst over 3000 lochs. It was originally a swamp and was described as such at the time of the building of Inchmahome Priory on the island. The Gaelic word used was leagh meaning swampy place and this was corrupted to lake.
