Loch Ness - yes you can swim in it but it is very cold and very deep so it is not recommended

First, it's Loch Ness not lake loch ness, because loch means lake.
Yes, you can, BUT the water is very cold, dark in colour, and gets deep very rapidly as you step away from the beaches. So swimming is quite dangerous and not recommended, except for experienced open-water swimmers.

You do realise its just called loch ness as a loch is the Scots word for lake

And I doubt you can but if you try you are brave as its FREEZING

FIRST, there is only ONE lake in Scotland - the Lake of Monteith.

Yes you can swim in Loch Ness, although the water temperature might come as a shock!

Yes you can I have swum in it, but its FREEZING. And its not Lake Loch Ness, its just Loch Ness. (Loch is Gaelic for Lake).
