    First heard about this major new search a few weeks back, and was entirely unsurprised to hear that one of the main organisers was… the local Loch Ness Visitor Centre, who by no means have a vested interest in keeping this nonsense going…

    Pretty sick of seeing the story given coverage by the BBC, the Guardian, etc, at a time when their resources would be better spent on proper news.

      Light local news isn’t covered by the same team, let people enjoy things and have a little fun in life. It is silly but it’s not like every town has local legend about a mythical dinosaur living in it’s lake, why wish it dead.

        I always just figure these sorts of claims are done with a wink and a nod as a sort of traditional joke.

        Camera technology may have progressed to insanely high quality, but any picture of Nessie or Bigfoot will always be taken with a potato.
