Shoreline

The Lake of Menteith (in the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park) on a misty, moisty, frosty morning in winter.

The Lake is one of the only two bodies of open water in Scotland to be called a Lake rather than a Loch. This, I’m told, derives from the word “Laigh” .. meaning “Low”.

Very occasionally, the Lake freezes over completely and, on such occasions, is used as the location for “The Bonspiel”: the famous curling match between the North of Scotland and the South of Scotland. The last Bonspiel was held in 1979 when the ice was 10” thick and a thousand competitors took part.
