Loch Ness is Scotland's minute deepest loch and, due to its large surface size, is too the close voluminous lake inwards the British Isles. Thanks to Contour.org's novel map of Loch Ness y'all tin plow over notice directly explore the depth of Loch Ness inwards 3d.
The depths of close of Scotland's lochs were non measured until the mid-Nineteenth Century.

From 1897 to 1909 Murray carried out 60,000 soundings as well as produced the get-go always detailed charts, amongst depth data, of Scotland's major lochs.
Contours.org has digitized the bathymetry information from Murray's survey for 4 of Scotland's lochs as well as created 3d bathymetry maps. These maps let y'all to explore the bathymetry contours of Loch Ness, Loch Lomond, Loch Levan as well as Loch Morar inwards 3d. Contours.org too allows y'all to stance the bathymetry contours of each loch inwards 2nd overlaid on a aerial map.
