Scotland's most famous loch has dropped to its lowest level in 32 years twice already this year amid dry conditions that have led to water shortages across the Highlands.
Loch Ness is 23 miles long and 230 metres (126 fathoms; 755 feet) deep at its deepest point. It contains more water than all the lakes in England and Wales combined, at around 1.8 cubic miles of icy water.
The Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) said a level of just over 109cm (3.5ft) was recorded at Foyers on May 24, the lowest since records began on December 1, 1990 reports the Express.
