I’ll be visiting Edinburgh at the end of December. As a big fan of monsters, I’ve always wanted to visit Loch Ness (I don’t care that people say it is ‘not worth it’, I want to see it). However, I noticed that the drive is extremely long and it being December, I would probably not be able to enjoy much of the scenery with the bad weather and early sunset. So, I decided I would be visiting Iverness in the near future and visit Loch Ness from there.

I was wondering if anyone knows a good ‘substitute’ for Loch Ness near Edinburgh? With a substitute, I mean a nice-looking loch (surrounded by nature), perhaps also housing a so-called monstrous creature?
