Which Scottish loch holds the greatest volume of fresh water in Great Britain?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. Loch Ness
- Step 1: At 56 km (22 sq mi), it is the second-largest Scottish loch by surface area after Loch Lomond, but due to its great depth it is the largest by volume in the British Isles, containing more water than all the lakes in England and Wales combined. Answer: Loch Ness. Why not the others: None of these fit: Loch Tay; Loch Lomond; Loch Awe.
