Visit Loch Ness as part of your Highland Tour
Looking for Nessie
Loch Ness got its name from the phrase "tha loch nis ann", which means "there is a loch there now" from an old legend in which a woman forgot to put the cap back on a well and water flooded the valley below, forming the loch. Loch Ness alone holds more water than ALL of England's lakes put together.Part of the Great Glen, a geological fault cutting the Highlands in two, Loch Ness is 23 miles (36 km) long with an average depth of 600ft (200m).
It is one of a chain of Lochs that now form the Caledonian Canal. The canal provides a waterway link between the North Sea and the Atlantic connecting 3 lochs (Ness, Oich and Lochy) between Inverness and Fort William on Loch Linnhe.
