One of the most enduring elements that have been associated with Loch Ness is the legendary sightings of a monster. In urban language this has been taken as a perfect illustration of unlikely stories. “Nessie” has become something of a tourist attraction. Apart from that Loch Ness is an interesting geographical location. At the south point it is ensconced by the River Oich as well as the Caledonian Canal. In the Northern part there is the Bona Marrows section which is near the Loch Dochfour. All these are tributaries to the River Ness. The area is dominated by many waterways but the visibility is very low. Perhaps that has led to fanciful imaginations of the Loch Ness Monster. The low visibility is caused by the high peat content within the soil that forms the landscape.

In terms of sheer surface area, Loch Ness is the 2^nd largest Loch in Scotland. The biggest is Loch Lomond. Interestingly it has been reported that the Loch contains more fresh water than all the lakes in Wales and England combined. It is in fact the largest water mass within the Great Glen Fault. This travels through Inverness and Fort William. The geographical features within this locality are fascinating enough without even having to delve into the various mysteries that have grown up concerning the so called monster. However these myths end up improving the tourism industry.
