What struck me was this quote:

   "She also confirmed that some previously unnamed parts of the
   loch had been named after cartographers and rangers who had
   worked together on the mapping project.

   "The spokeswoman explained names given after people was a
   common map-making tradition"


Err... it is?  OK, maybe in the 19th century if you were Robert Fitzroy 
in Patagonia, but I don't imagine any cartographer today is just making 
up names!  (Hopefully not any OSM contributors or anyone at the O.S., anyway...)
