Loch Ness is one of the best lakes for swimming, as even the Scottish winters are incapable of freezing it. Plus swimming in the Loch Ness has a touch of mystery to it, right?
The mysterious dark color of the lake is attributable to peat particles floating in the water.
The lake is rumored to house the Loch Ness Monster called as Nessie. Nessie means pure in Scottish.
The lake was formed roughly 10,000 years ago. Certainly historic enough for having secrets...!
