It's a dinosaur! No, it's Nessie!


In the Scottish Highlands, sightings of the elusive Loch Ness Monster, affectionately called "Nessie," have captivated locals and travelers alike since the 1930s. The mystery continues to draw visitors to the deep misty lake in this historic region of Scotland. 
There are over 300,000 visitors each year and only 1 to 2 bona fide sightings. These odds encourage new and returning visitors to try to document a legitimate run-in with Nessie. "Pretty much everyone carries a cell phone or camera so they can snap what they see," says Campbell. Set out with a digital camera and the spirit of the hunt, and you too might have Nessie tales to tell.

Though stories of a mysterious lake monster date back to the 7th century, they didn't become mainstream until 1933 when a London man claimed to have seen a prehistoric beast on the Loch Ness shores. Locals came out of the woodwork with additional claims of their own. Soon, legend of the "Loch Ness Monster captivated the world, with hordes of people arriving to photograph the lake in the hopes of a monster sighting. Formal investigations ensued, such as the Loch Ness Phenomena Investigation Board, a UK-based society that organized its members to watch the lake from different vantage points armed with cameras, and "Operation Deepscan," a 1987 venture that included 24 sonar-equipped boats that scanned the lake floor. Still, the investigations yielded no definitive evidence. Today, visitors to the lake continue to investigate on their own.
