Growing up in Scotland how could I not be fascinated by Nessie, the creature believed to inhabit Loch Ness. I've even been there on a couple of occasions, and stared out across the waters of the loch looking for signs of the monster. With all that mist swirling around and the deep dark water it's quite easy to imagine seeing something, if not actually the famous creature itself. You can read about my adventures, as well as much more about Loch Ness Monsters here.
Of course, for many Scots, the sight of tourists and scientists making vain attempts to locate Nessie is a constant source of amusement. It's also a source of income though, and for that reason at least they continue to support the legends. But I reckon there's plenty of Scots who have sighted Nessie, or at least think they have. So you never know, there might be something down in the depths of Loch Ness after all!
Here's an interesting photo of Nessie, with a challenge by the photographer to readers to prove it's a fake. Check it out at My Amazing Nessie Photo!
