Loch
Ness is the largest body of fresh water in Britain, holding more
than all the lakes and reservoirs in England & Wales put
together. 380 million years ago the earth’s crust fractured
and moved which resulted in the formation of the Great Glen of
which Loch Ness is part. It is 39km long with an average depth
of 132m. It is possible to drive right round Loch Ness.
