Usage of and


And can be used in the following ways:


as a conjunction (joining two words, phrases, or clauses): Rachel plays the piano and sings.

This question is somewhat weird but I am confused so please help me out.

This is a definition of the word 'and' when it is used 'And' starting with a capital A, the dictionary used the word 'relating' but when 'and' is used as a conjunction like in the http://www.macmillandictionary.com/dictionary/british/lake and http://www.macmillandictionary.com/dictionary/british/mountain of Scotland, the dictionary used just the word 'connect' and then it insists that they the http://www.macmillandictionary.com/dictionary/british/lake and http://www.macmillandictionary.com/dictionary/british/mountain are not related to each other?

I know that this question is really strange but for some reason, I fell into confusion, so please share your thoughts.

Thank you so much as usual in advance.
