he Loch Ness is a large, deep,

freshwater loch in the Scottish Highlands extending for approximately

37 km southwest of Inverness. Loch Ness is

best known for alleged sightings of the cryptozoological Loch Ness Monster, also

known affectionately as "Nessie". 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.
