The River Ness (left) and the Caledonian Canal (right) The River Ness (Scottish Gaelic: Abhainn Nis) is a short river in the Great Glen of Scotland. It begins at Loch Dochfour, at the northern end of Loch Ness, and flows northeast towards the city of Inverness, where it empties into the Moray Firth. It runs parallel to the Caledonian Canal for the first half of its course, which is six miles (10 km) long in total.
At Inverness, the river contains a group of wooded islets known as the Ness Islands, some of which are linked to the shore by footbridges.
