Lomond

Britain's largest lake

Lomond is a Scottish place name, most familiar from Loch Lomond, Scotland's largest freshwater lake by surface area.

The loch appears in the traditional song "The Bonnie Banks o' Loch Lomond," with its refrain about the high road and the low road.

Ben Lomond, on the loch's eastern shore, is a prominent mountain.

The name appears in various place names worldwide, typically named by Scottish emigrants.
