Walking
The Loch Ness monster, fondly known as Nessie has made Loch Ness not just the most famous lochs in Scotland but one of the countries most popular sites. The Loch itself is twenty-three miles login and is the second largest lake (don’t call it that here though) in Britain by area. The great depth of the Loch means it holds more water than any of the lakes in England and Wales put together. There are many gorgeous woodland walks on either side of the loch, short and long! Further north, there is Glen Affric often described as the most beautiful glen in Scotland. Picture a vast Highland loch stretching out into the distance with rugged mountains fanning out from either side of the water.
