There is a reason why Loch Achray (the two pictures on the right) is a loch but the Lake of Menteith (above left) is a lake, and Russell explained it to us, but I've already forgotten. (I have managed to remember that Loch Drunkie was named because smugglers used to hide barrels of whisky in the water and some inevitably leaked out.) It doesn't matter. They're all beautiful.
