Talk:Loch Lomond

message: I believe that Loch Ness is the largest body of water in Great Britain. Loch Lomond has the largest surface area of any loch. (In GB) - unsigned
- This is not disputed, both Wiki entries for these lochs makes this quite clear.Andrew ranfurly (talk) 19:51, 1 March 2017 (UTC)

message: For some reason, the phrase "Lake Lomond" has been added in parenthises after 'Loch Lomond' in the first line of the article.  This appears to have been added by someone for whom English is not the first language.  Loch Lomond is the english name of this body of water.  The Scots Gaelic name for Loch Lomond is Loch Laomainn.  To Anglicise the name further to Lake Lomond is incorrect as well as being unnecessary.  On those grounds I'm going to remove it immediately.  Anyone with a comment, please add on below.

message: As referenced in other articles here on wikipedia (e.g https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bonnie_Banks_o%27_Loch_Lomond) the high road was the official guarded road and the low road was a different path used by the common/poor, that took you from england to scotland in the middle ages, and this is given as the main reason for this wording in the song, above that of the elvish story, not wanting to offend the aoth si, but it just seems more consistent..   — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C7:BB15:8D01:90F:D752:C195:C6DF (talk) 17:10, 7 July 2019 (UTC)

thread_title: In the High Castle?

message: I have always heard different lyrics than these. Matt McGinn sang what could be the original theme and sentiment of Loch Lomond about a rebel Donald MacDonald around 1746 after the battle of Culloden and narrated by his lover who wishes he get set free and takes the high road of life while she takes the low road of death and dies before him, hence the line “I’ll be in Heaven before him”. It’s a folk song with may different lyrics and interpretations.....Alec Fraser 05:14, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Loch Lomond is famous for many things and is an important Scottish loch but this statement is blatant self-promotion or advertising.
There are many watersport, boating and sailing companies operating on the Loch, including several marinas, as one would expect.Andrew ranfurly (talk) 19:57, 1 March 2017 (UTC)
