A lake in Caithness, Scotland

Loch Watten is a loch in the River Wick drainage basin in Caithness, Scotland.[1] The name is a tautology, consisting of the word "loch" (of Gaelic origin) and vatn, a Norse word meaning the very same, found in such names as "Þingvallavatn" and Myvatn in Iceland, and "Røssvatnet" and "Møsvatn" in Norway.
