Loch Ness
Urquhart Castle on the shores of Loch Ness
Stories of "Something" in the Loch have persisted since 500 AD.

as well as this

Truth or hoax. Myth or monster? Hard to tell, but one is for certain. The locals take their Nessie very seriously. She can be found from tee-shirt to lunch box. In stuffed plushie form, and on road signs.
Having your own Loch Monster is a business
Loch Ness is 22 square miles but is 755 feet deep making it the largest body of freshwater in the British Isles.
