| 释义 |
The loch is the source of the town of Linlithgow's name; the British llyn laith cau translates to "lake in the damp hollow".[6] Two islets in the loch, Cormorant Island and the Rickle, are thought to be the 5,000 year old remains of crannogs.[7] Fishing and boatingLinlithgow Loch was once famed for its brown trout, but most of the sport today comes from stocked rainbow trout, regularly released by the Forth Area Federation of Anglers.[8] The Low Port Centre, run by West Lothian Leisure, provides facilities for sailing, canoeing, kayaking, and windsurfing.[2] ConservationUrban and agricultural runoff make eutrophication a concern.[4] Algal blooms have affected the loch's value for wildlife and recreation.[2] Linlithgow Loch is a Site of Special Scientific Interest due to it being an example of a lowland eutrophic loch and supporting representative examples of aquatic and emergent plant communities.[3] External links{{commons category|Linlithgow Loch}}
