Yes, landing on the water brings extra complications, particularly when something does not go as planned. Pilots take fro granted that nearly all runways have some access to ground transportation and help. Happily Loch Ness has road access, landing on water with no road access complicates it even more. Starters and charged batteries were two of more common the things I have had to fly into remote lakes over the years.
