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!

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.

Ogopogo, real or mythical, is to be found in Canada's British Colombia lake called Okanagan. or called Okanagan lake or commonly known as lake Okanagan. Although few people believe that it is found in a lake in Scotland, he/she is most plainly said to be found in Lake Okanagan in Canada, B.C.
