A loch is a body of water typically found in Scotland, although the term is also used for bodies of water in other parts of the world. Lochs are usually freshwater lakes, although some saltwater lochs do exist. The most famous loch is Loch Ness, which is perhaps best known for its alleged resident, the Loch Ness Monster.<\/p>\n

Loch Ness is a large freshwater lake in the Scottish Highlands. Its surface area is approximately the size of Luxembourg, making it the second-largest lake in Scotland after Loch Lomond.<\/p>\n

What does Loch Ness mean? <\/h2>\n

Loch Ness is a large freshwater lake in the Scottish Highlands. The lake is famous for its purported monster, which is said to inhabit its depths. The lake’s name probably derives from an old Celtic word meaning ‘roaring one’, referring to the noise made by the waterfalls that flow into the loch.<\/p>\n

Loch is a word used in Scottish Gaelic, Scots, and Irish to refer to a lake or sea inlet. It is cognate with the Manx lough, Cornish logh, and one of the Welsh words for lake, llwch.<\/p>\n
