Why does Loch Ness never freeze?

Loch Ness is the largest body of water in Scotland by volume and contains more water than all the Lakes in England and Wales combined. It is in fact so deep, that Loch Ness never freezes over, even in the harshest of Scottish Winters, as the water cooled from the air will sink and be replaced by hot water below it.
