There are other natural lakes in Scotland - Pressmennan Lake being an example.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 212.84.101.231 ( talk • contribs) 20:55, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
Although Loch Jess appears to have been removed by the person who added it, it seems that there really is a Loch Jess (a two acre lochan in Ayrshire). On the other hand I don't suppose we want to have every little pond in Scotland listed here. Lavateraguy 20:05, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
There is no Loch of that name on Shetland. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.54.132.175 ( talk) 20:47, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
Hello, I am going to translate this article in French and I have found two lochs "Carabhat" here-> [1]. Is it a mistake? Could you please answer to me in the french discussion page? Thanks. Skiff ( talk) 17:44, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
I read somewhere that Kilbirnie Loch is the only one where the source enters at the same énd as the river that drains it. Can anyone confirm or negate this? Rosser Gruffydd 11:15, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
I have added a few dozen more items to the list of sea lochs (saltwater lochs) and broken them down into alphabetical sections for ease of navigation. I have attempted to indicate which part of the Scottish coast they lie on with either a county name or district name in round brackets and have linked the first instance of each of these in each alphabetic section with square brackets. Does that make sense?! I note too that this list includes a second natural body of water (after
Lake of Menteith) known as a lake - 'Manxman's Lake' on the Solway Firth coast - Scotland's only example of a 'sea-lake' perhaps?

I'm in the midst of significantly expanding the main list ie that of mainland freshwater lochs. I though it might be useful if I explained my approach. I am using the OS Landranger 1:50,000 maps, taking them sheet by sheet, to add lochs to the list. I have been omitting any waterbodies named as reservoirs unless the name also contains the term 'loch'. These might best be added to the existing List of reservoirs and dams in the United Kingdom or else a new list started for Scotland though that duplication might be unwarranted. Neither am I including 'lochans' except where they are of exceptional size and, by any rational naming approach, would be termed lochs. There is of course(?) no set cut-off between waterbodies known as lochs and those known as lochans - there are a number of outsized lochans and there are very many tiny lochs. My referencing of them by geographical area is perhaps inconsistent. I'm using both modern administrative area names eg Perth and Kinross but also geographical districts eg Kintyre or Ardnamurchan and occasionally proximity to towns eg west of Glasgow. Someone else might wish to regularise this before I get around to doing it. cheers Geopersona ( talk) 05:59, 21 January 2011 (UTC)
As I've also asked at the lakes/lochs of the UK page - it's not clear to me where the figures for the areas of each of the lochs listed has come from. Can anyone point me to a source and ought that source to be referenced in the article? I may be missing something obvious of course! thanks Geopersona ( talk) 19:57, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
A warm welcome to you, Mcamuir - great to have you on board. Editing Wikipedia can be very rewarding - although it takes a little time to learn the ropes. I encourage you to be bold and plunge right in to areas that interest you. Please make good use of in-line references from reliable sources - there are plenty of examples in the article tables. If you need any assistance re this article just drop another note here - or for anything more general click on the purple "Mac" in my signature (which follows). That will take you to my "talk page" where you are welcome to leave a message. I'll drop a standard note on your own talk page to show you how they work. Good luck!

I can't help feeling this article would be more "encyclopedic" if it was structured in a different way. For example, if rather than a long list of all and sundry in alphabetical order it had headings for each local authority area or 'region' with short descriptions of each of the major lochs in a table and a list of smaller lochs below that table and heading. (I confess I am unlikely to have time for such a project.)
Something that could be done easily is replace the existing table with the one that existed until a while ago here. The latter avoids the duplciation of every column and identifies the 3 largest in each category. An alternative might be to use the convert template in each column if imperial measures are really held to be useful. </nowiki>
Thoughts?
