It follows paths, forest trails, farm tracks and ancient rights of way. This map starts at Fort Augustus before heading towards Foyers, Inverfarigaig, Dores and Torbreck. Loch Ness itself is approximately 23 miles long and the second largest Scottish loch by surface area after Loch Lomond. Its great depth makes it the largest by volume with its deepest point being 755 ft (230 m). It takes its name from the River Ness which flows through Inverness at the northern end. It contains more fresh water than all the lakes in England and Wales combined and is the largest body of water in the 62 mile long Great Glen.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat is different about a Zigzag map?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe main difference is the scale – although these maps use the ever-popular Ordnance Survey 1:25,000 scale mapping they show this mapping at a larger scale – 1:20,000. This makes them easier to use for everyone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey are also laminated, so you can use them in the wet without fear of them disintegrating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs their name suggests, Zigzag maps come in a concertina strip format. The maps are made for convenience; you need only unfold 2 panels at a time and then keep on flipping over to follow the path.
