1. Loch Ness

   Loch Ness (; Scottish Gaelic: Loch Nis [l̪ˠɔx ˈniʃ]) is a large freshwater loch in the Scottish Highlands extending for approximately 37 kilometres (23 miles) southwest of Inverness. It takes its name from the River Ness, which flows from the northern end. Loch Ness is best known for claimed sightings of the cryptozoological Loch Ness Monster, also known affectionately as "Nessie" (Scottish Gaelic: Niseag). It is one of a series of interconnected, murky bodies of water in Scotland; its water visibility is exceptionally low due to a high peat content in the surrounding soil. The southern end connects to Loch Oich by the River Oich and a section of the Caledonian Canal. The northern end connects to Loch Dochfour via the River Ness, which then ultimately leads to the North Sea via the Moray Firth. Loch Ness is the second-largest Scottish loch by surface area after Loch Lomond at 56 km2 (22 sq mi), but due to its great depth it is the largest by volume in Great Britain. Its deepest point is 230 metres (126 fathoms; 755 feet), making it the second deepest loch in Scotland after Loch Morar. It contains more water than all the lakes in England and Wales combined, and is the largest body of water in the Great Glen, which runs from Inverness in the north to Fort William in the south. Its surface is 16 metres (52 feet) above sea level. It contains a single, artificial island named Cherry Island (Scottish Gaelic: Eilean Muireach) at the southwestern end. There are nine villages around the loch, as well as Urquhart Castle; the village of Drumnadrochit contains a "Loch Ness Centre and Exhibition".

The loch is connected at the southern end to the River Oich and a section of the Caledonian Canal to Loch Oich. At its northern end, there is the Bona Narrows which opens out into Loch Dochfour, feeding the River Ness and a further section of canal to Inverness.

Examples of loch ness in a Sentence

1. Daniel Loxton:

   But people aren't giving up on the Loch Ness monster, i don't think they ever will. So I think the yeti will probably exist as long as there are people to think about mountains.

2. Daniel Loxton:

   Loch Ness is not as big as the Himalayas, it is a finite body of water. It has been extensively scanned by sonar. It's been observed for decades. There's just really no possibility that there's a plesiosaur in Loch Ness, or even anything of comparable size.

3. Clifford Harris:

4. Richard Freeman:

   I dont believe the eel theory has killed off the Loch Ness Monster, quite the reverse in fact, a giant eel, which can grow up to 30 feet, is a monster in every sense of the word.

5. Jojakim Cortis:

   There are many miniatures that we did which were of faked or staged events, loch Ness is obviously faked. And there are stories on the web where people think Stanley Kubrick faked these moon pictures.
