Menteith
District - Menteith lies between the River
Teith and the River Forth. The Lake of Menteith is Scotland's
only body of water referred to as a "lake", all other
Scottish lakes are called "lochs", in the early 19th
century it was known as the "loch of Menteith" giving
reason to believe the modern name to be of Victorian origin.
Royal Scotland - ...... Perhaps the most famous of these was Mary, Queen of Scots. In her brief years as a ruler of Scotland, she made many 'progresses' around Scotland, staying at many fortified houses and castles which can be viewed today. She is also recalled at INCHMAHOME PRIORY on its peaceful island setting on the Lake of Menteith.
