Linlithgow Loch is a shallow freshwater loch which is interesting as an example of how lakes can adapt to eutrophication. Over the years high levels of agricultural run off has entered the loch creating algal blooms. It's now a SSSI as a lowland eutrophic loch which supports representative examples of aquatic and emergent plant communities.
There is a nice trail around the loch to walk with great views of the castle.
