I have always referred to the chain of lakes near Cutty and Sark as the Scotch Chain. I thought most folks used the term. Or am I the only one?

Not sure why this came up? Cutty? Sark? Could be. They are old sailing ships. Maybe after a night of rum, they were seen sailing on these lakes?

For most of us Cutty Sark only has one meaning: Scotch
I mentioned the Scotch Chain in passing on a Solo Post and was asked what it was. It made me wonder if I was the only one that called it that.

I think I asked. Can't remember where though! Googling catty dark had some great reads.

I'm traveling through there this fall. Looks like a great area. Have read some posts about fishing in the area...

Still hope to make it to Laphroig Lake one of these days.

Oddball out here, Cutty Sark means a fast 4 mast clipper. Made several record tea runs to India and China around the Horn, prior to steam power and Panama Canal.
Laphriog Lake sounds/smells great, and a good workout possibly Talisker!
Scotch chain I traveled with Sunny, Kanoes, and Kiporby, mostly Macallan.
