View of Loch Lochy

Highlight • Lake

Loch Lochy is Scotlands third deepest loch and is part of the Caledonian Canal.

Folklore tales mention a supernatural being called the River Horse which was said to emerge from the lake and assume a horse's shape before feeding on the loch's banks. The River Horse was also known as the Lord of the Lake and the Water King and would overturn boats and entice mares from their pastures.
