Loch Ore
Freshwater loch in Fife, Scotland
About
Loch Ore (Scottish Gaelic: Loch Oir) is a loch situated in Fife, Scotland. It forms the core of Lochore Meadows Country Park. It is used mainly for leisure purposes, especially yachting, although the uneven depth can make speed boating problematic.
The name is originally Pictish, as most rivers in the east of Scotland are, so it predates the arrival of Gaelic in Fife. However, the name has been interpreted by modern Gaelic speakers as Loch Odhar meaning "the dull loch".
