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

up names! (Hopefully not any OSM contributors or anyone at the O.S., anyway...)
