Should this page be called 'Loch_ness' to conform to wikipedia's way of only capitalising the first letter of a page? Alternatively Loch_ness could redirect to this. 80.229.14.246 5 July 2005 21:43 (UTC)
Is it 228 or 248 m deep? Ufwuct 21:22, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
I always thought the Loch Ness was the largest body of water by volume in Great Britain, but Loch Lomond is the largest by surface area. Is this correct? If so, should we clarify for quiz teams?

Just to further clarify (and I also believe Loch Ness to be larger in this respect) that it is the largest by volume of fresh water lochs/lakes, ie those inland - not sea lochs. Hope that's not too pedantic.Greynolds999 16:37, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
Can't we just say "Loch Ness (Scottish Gaelic: Loch Nis) is a large, deep freshwater lake in the Scottish Highlands?" Does calling the lake "loch" make the article more mysterious? :)

an interesting name for an interesting lake. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Analeana (talk • contribs) 18:47, 26 April 2016 (UTC)
What, it has the ability to vary its own dating? ...and thus only "usually" dates to the Iron Age? rowley (talk) 22:37, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
It's good that there is map on the article page, but perhaps it would be better not have on at all, than to have the terrible one that's there at the moment. It's not to scale, and it implies that Edinburgh is near the Loch. -Tpacw (talk) 13:28, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
I moved the above section here from the article as it needs additional references. -- User:Docu
Hi, I just read here that Loch Ness may be the site of a potential supervolcano: http://www.armageddononline.org/Super-Volcano.html
Any more info on this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.68.95.79 (talk) 13:20, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
I was just on Youtube watching something about Nessie (I know, I know), but they said that some scientist just discovered a new species living in Loch Ness. It was an orange glob thing. Any idea what I'm talking about? And was it 'a new life form' as they claimed, or just a new species? If anything at all? Ever curious, Masternachos (talk) 09:06, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
Just looking at this page the intext gives a maximum depth of 755ft, yet on the side part the maximum depth is 812ft. Which is it?? I see from an above post that the reference you have chosen to be best gives 754ft, but where does this 812ft come from? MrRipperKing (talk) 00:59, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
The loch's murkyness and depth may be one of the reasons why the Loch Ness monster's existance has not yet been proven.
Am I the only one who feels this line gives off the impression that the Loch Ness Monster exists and will be proven to exist eventually? I'm not sure how else to word it really, but maybe if we added "or disproven" to the end of the sentence?
I didn't edit it myself because it could just be me misinterpreting the line. What do you think? Anoldtreeok (talk) 06:30, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
Recently User:213.42.95.234 changed the first sentence in the article from "Loch Ness is a large, deep, freshwater loch..." to "Loch Ness is a large, deep, freshwater lake...".
My personal preference aside, the consensus reached in several discussions on this can be summed up as: "loch" is the common noun for "lake" in Scottish English, and per WP:ENGVAR "loch" is thus preferred to "lake" in use in Scottish related articles. I will revert the change now if its still live. --RacerX11 Talk to meStalk me 13:19, 27 April 2014 (UTC)

The article states incorrectly that when Brenda Sherratt became the first person to swim the length of the loch, she did so during her eighteenth birthday. She did her birthday swim at Windemere in England, as part of her training for the Loch Ness swim, as indicated by the footnoted source. 97.127.15.92 (talk) 01:17, 22 November 2017 (UTC)

Hello all!
This article has been chosen as this week's effort for WP:Discord's #team-b-vital channel, a collaborate effort to bring Vital articles up to a B class if possible, similar to WP:Articles for Improvement. This effort will run for up to seven days, ending early if the article is felt to be at B-class or impossible to further improve. Articles are chosen by a quick vote among interested chatters, with the goal of working together on interesting Vital articles that need improving.
Thank you! -- ferret (talk) 00:05, 28 October 2021 (UTC)

Both the introduction and the Geography section include references to peat, water volume compared to the rest of the UK, and depth (second most). It looks like someone lost track of what they were writing and put the same content in twice. If I had the time I'd take the details out of the introduction.
