Loch Watten

Le loch Watten est un loch de la région de Caithness, en Écosse, dans le bassin de la rivière Wick. Le nom est une tautologie, composé du mot "loch" (d'origine gaélique) et "Vatn", mot norrois signifiant la même chose, comme dans des noms tels que "Þingvallavatn» et "Mývatn" en Islande, et "Røssvatnet" et "Møsvatn" en Norvège.

Il est célèbre pour la pêche à la mouche bon pour la truite brune. Le village de Watten est situé au sud du loch.
