River Ness The River Ness (Scottish Gaelic: ''Abhainn Nis'') is a river about 12 miles or 20 km long, which flows from the northern end of Loch Ness in Scotland, through Loch Dochfour,〔(Dochfour House and Estate )〕 north-east to Inverness, with a total fall in height of about 16 metres before discharging into the Beauly Firth. The river is the origin of the name of Inverness which is from the (スコットランド・ゲール語:Inbhir Nis), meaning "Mouth of the Ness".
==Course== Dochgarroch weir at the downstream end of Loch Dochfour delineates the start of the River Ness. At Carnarc Point on the west bank the river discharges into the eastern end of the Beauly Firth, which is a continuation of the Moray Firth, at Kessock. The northern section of the Caledonian Canal passes partly through the River Ness and partly alongside it.〔http://www.lochnessinvestigation.org/RiverNessJourney.html〕 The river Ness is of glacial origin. Although of short length the River Ness has one of the highest average discharge rates in the UK of 11,000 cu ft/s (300m³/s).〔(Highland Council Inverness Flooding Report )〕
