"No. A fjord is a "finger" inlet, and has an outlet to the sea. A loch is a landlocked lake. "

We have a submarine base at Holy Loch, Scotland. How does that work with a lake?

BTW, I was there on a sub in 1963...it does go to the sea.

A loch (usually Lough as a name element outside Scotland) is a body of water which is either:

* a lake or;
* a sea inlet, which may be also a firth, fjord, estuary or bay.
* Sea-inlet lochs are often called sea lochs.

Cool! I was always under the impression that lakes were more or less landlocked. Guess a feller is never too old to learn. :o)
