Loch Morar, Freshwater lake in Highland, Scotland
Loch Morar stretches for 18.8 kilometers through the Highlands, containing clear waters and reaching depths of 310 meters, making it the deepest lake in Britain.
The surrounding areas experienced significant population changes during the Highland Clearances, with multiple groups emigrating to Canada between 1790 and 1826.
Local residents maintain stories about Morag, a water creature said to inhabit the depths of Loch Morar, similar to the tales of Loch Ness.
The lake provides multiple entry points for swimming activities, particularly near the Silver Sands of Morar on its western section.
The lake contains two separate basins exceeding 270 meters in depth, with water temperatures remaining moderate even during winter months.
