Loch Ness: The Rumour That the Creature Uses Hidden Waterways

Loch Ness is a freshwater lake almost 37 kilometers long in the Scottish Highlands. Its water is dark with peat, its shores fall steeply, its bottom reaches about 230 meters, and the surface hides nearly everything below the first few meters. From shore, people see water, boats and mountains. Underwater lies a deep trench along the Great Glen, currents, falling rock, sunken trees and mud. That darkness feeds a simple rumour: Nessie does not live forever in a lake people watch. It has routes in and out that maps do not fully show.
