Loch Ness is located on the Great Glen fault which is a strike slip fault. Also known as a transcurrent fault.

These are transcurrent faults, usually at 90o to the main Mid-Ocean Ridge (MOR). One wall is commonly higher than the other in a systemic fashion.

It may be that the great Alpine Fault in New Zealand, about 500 km long, is a transcurrent fault of the Pacific MOR, much displaced.

Strike-slip (transcurrent) faults.

Oblique faults exhibit some strike-slip movement, but they also have a dip-slip component.

The Great Alpine Fault, which traverses from Milford Sound, up the South Island, then through the North Island. Though it splits into two main branches in north Canterbury.

The Canterbury side of the fault is riding up and over the western side. The Southern Alps are one of the results of this movement. All of the South Islands hot springs (well warm mostly) are on the eastern side of this fault. And are considered to because of the land uplifting faster than it is cooling.

Some modern speculation considered that this major rift is an extension of a transcurrent fault, of the main Pacific mid ocean ridge. This is based on the underwater topography to the south of New Zealand.

[The main Mid Ocean Ridges all have transcurrent faults at 90 deg to the main ridge.]

There are many dozens of faults throughout the country.
