The most famous lake in Scotland is Loch Ness. People say that in this
lake they see Nessie. It is a mysterious monster. Nessie sometimes appears
to scare the tourists but only in fine weather, which is a great rarity for
Scotland! Nobody knows if
the monster is fact or fiction. Experts have been
discussing that question for years, but in recent times more and more people
have become convinced that a whole colony of giant creatures may live in the
loch. People watch the loch and try to make a photo. Sometimes people do
it and a lot of people see that there's something there in the photos. The
following picture has been created: a length of around eighteen metres,
one-sixth of which is head and neck; four fins; and a stubby tail. There are
all sorts of theories about the monster. In 1973 a Japanese trading firm
organized its own 'scientific' expedition. The necessary equipment, including a
small submarine, was brought to Scotland.
But the monster of Loch Ness remains mysterious.
