Loch Ness - a freshwater lake (loch) located in Scotland, about 37 kilometers long. It is located at an altitude of 16 meters above sea level, southwest of Inverness. This is the reservoir of a water reservoir on the tectonic line known as Great Glen, which runs from the north from Inverness to Fort William in the south. The Caledonian Canal connecting the coast on both sides of Great Glen runs through Loch Ness.
Loch Ness is one of many connected lakes that were created in places sculpted by the glacier during the last ice age. The clarity of the water in Loch Ness is what is a high content of peat in the land adjacent to the lake. Loch Ness is the second largest Scottish lake, has 56.4 km², but has a larger volume due to its depth. In the deepest place, it measures 226 meters.

On the south-western edge of the lake, near Fort Augustus, there is the only island of Loch Ness - Cherry Island. It is a "crane" on the same island as the Iron Age.
Loch Ness owes his fame to the monster that lives deep in its depths.
Loch Ness Monster (Nessie) - An animal or group of animals allegedly living in the Scottish Loch Ness, the largest largest freshwater reservoir in the UK. Together with the Great Foot and Yeti, the Loch Ness monster is a cryptid, one of the most famous cryptozoology puzzles. Most scientists recognize the current documentation to prove the existence of the animal as unconvincing. Mostly, they say that the reports from Nessie's meetings are scams or observations of known animals or phenomena. However, faith in the existence of an animal exists among many people around the world. The most popular theories trying to explain the nature of the alleged animal describe them as a kind of plesiosaur, seal, eel or sturgeon.
