Loch Ness is a spectacular stretch of water although the A82 alongside
can be quite busy.
The natural Highland vegetation that lines its banks, birch, alder,
rowan and hazel trees, now struggle to resist the intense forestry
schemes of pine that continue to engulf wide swathes of the Highlands.
It was the construction of the A82 in the 1930s that sparked off
the modern craze for monster spotting when workmen and locals claimed
many sightings. Perhaps the digging and blasting disturbed the monster.
The first mention of 'Nessie', as he or she is colloquially known,
goes back to St Adamnan's chronicle of St Colomba who had to placate
the monster following its attack on a fellow monk.
