Enter the co-ordinates 57°12′52.13″N, 4°34′14.16″W into Google Earth and you will be presented with this image which is arousing a frenzy of “ooooh, look… the Loch Ness Monster!”. The elusive Loch Ness Monster – or Nessie as it’s come to be known – has long been a fascination, with a host of reported sitings dating back to 1933. This latest find does appear to be being taken seriously and Google have sent the Google Street Maps bike up to the area to circle around the loch and gather further imagery.
However, it could just be a boat. The Loch Ness Express, for instance, regularly tours the loch but that particular vessel can also be seen in another image at 57°10′8.21″N, 4°37′53.37″W. Despite reports earlier this month that Nessie might not be around due to climate change, the intrigue surrounding its possible existence continues to this day, and scientists recently scoured the loch using sonar and underwater cameras in an attempt to find the animal.
