A lake was formed about 300 million years ago during the melting of glaciers near the hollow of the earth's crust, as a result of the displacement of mountain ranges. Loch Ness is surrounded on all sides by mountains.

The waters of the lake enter the Caledonian Canal, connecting the two coast of Scotland. In the circumference of the lake there are many artificial islands - crannogams.
