LochsBelieve it or not, there are over 31,000 lochs and 'lochans' (little lochs) in Scotland! Most of these are quite small while many were drained after the 18th century for farmland or tree plantations. Despite this, there are still plently to go around. Take a look at North Uist, Outer Hebrides on Google Earth sometime to illustrate this point. Even though the Outer Hebrides only makes up 1.3% of the UK's landmass, it contains some 15% of its freshwater surface area!Source:Smith, I. and Lyle, A. 1979 The Distribution of Freshwaters in Great Britain, Edinburgh:Institute of Terrestrial Ecology
