Loch Ness, Scottish Highlands One of the stragest places on earth, equally for both its mythical monster, Nessie, and for the eerie lake hidden away in the Scottish Highlands. Ness, the particular loch itself is 755-feet deep at its greatest and 21.8 square-miles wide. Unlike most lochs, this massive water body makes you wonder what could possibly be lurking in the depths.
The impressive ruins of Urquhart Castle lie on a rocky promontory on the northern banks of Loch Ness. The castle is first mentioned in 1230 c. An ideal site for a fortress, affording prominent views of the surrounding approaches, surrounded on three sides by the deep waters of the Loch, and being easily defendable from the landward side.
