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.

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. 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!
