Ness
LOCH, a long, narrow lake of Inverness-shire, the second largest in Scotland, Scotland, 6½ 61/2 miles S. W. of Inverness; 50 feet above sea-level; length N. N. E. 22½ miles; average breadth 1 mile; area 19 square miles. It receives the Morriston, Oich, Foyers, and other streams, and sends off the river Ness NESTOR to the Moray Firth. It lies in the valley of Glenmore, on the line of the Caledonian Canal, and is inclosed by steep donian Canal, and is inclosed by steep (2,284 feet). Owing to its great depth (in places 780 feet) it never freezes to any considerable extent.
