Despite being a Scot the Loch Ness mystery never seemed wholly viable to me, but of course I had to check it out for myself. We spoke to many locals when visiting the area. Most are pretty skeptical that something sizeable resides in the loch. However... I did speak to one witness who said he was working for a telecoms company and was perched on top of a telephone post on a hill above the loch. He had never given the 'monster' a second thought. However he saw something that day in the loch that he suggest was much bigger than any native inhabitant. He didn't see a neck or fins he just seen a large object which took him very much by surprise. He has never gone public with his sighting and doesn't intend to. His story certainly gave me pause to think.
