This article needs a map, and an explanation of the etymology of the names: not the relatively trivial lake/loch question, but why Menteith, when the Gaelic is obviously names the loch after the island (Innis = Inch = island). Surely Menteith can't be a corruption of MoCholmaig? --Doric Loon 10:07, 13 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Three other lakes?

What is the basis of the claim that there are (only) three other lakes in Scotland? Only three that the editor could think of? For instance there is also Raith Lake to the west of Kirkcaldy. Mutt Lunker 16:33, 10 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No citation forthcoming so edited accordingly. I didn't amend it to say there are definitively four lakes in Scotland as there may possibly be others. Incidentally, and for what it's worth, I understand Raith Lake is also artificial. Mutt Lunker (talk) 22:26, 26 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The reason that menteith is a lake and not a loch is due to William Wallace being captured by Menteith and nothing Scottish being linked with his name.
