My Favorite Lake

My favorite lake in the world would have to be Loch Ness in Scotland. The word "loch" is pronounced like lock but with a Scottish accent, and in Gaelic means lake. Beyond this lake being in the super awesome country of Scotland and having the legend of the Loch Ness monster, Nessie, it also has a castle nearby, Urquhart Castle.
This is Urquhart Castle


This is Loch Ness

And this is supposedly the Loch Ness monster...

Fun Facts about Loch Ness
  • It is the second largest lake in Scotland, behind Loch Lomond
  • It has more fresh water in it than in England and Wales combined.
  • Is one of the deepest lochs in all of Scotland, behind Loch Morar
  • The Loch Ness Monster is a cryptid, meaning that it's existence is scientifically unlikely, but has been suggested.
