Loch Morar is long, has a surface area of , and is the deepest freshwater body in the British Isles with a maximum depth of . In 1910, John Murray and Laurence Pullar found it to have a mean depth of and a total volume of during their survey of Scottish lochs.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Bathymetrical Survey of the Fresh-Water Lochs of Scotland, 1897–1909 )〕 The bottom is deepened below the United Kingdom Continental Shelf, and until 1943, when a depth of was observed in the Sound of Raasay, it was believed to be the deepest water in the United Kingdom.
