THE DEEP-LOOMING LEGEND OF LOCH NESS.

In the cold, dark waters of Scotland’s most famous loch, something ancient stirs. The Loch Ness Monster — affectionately known as “Nessie” — has captured imaginations for centuries, from Celtic stone carvings to blurry tourist photos and military sonar scans.

Eyewitnesses describe a long-necked creature with humps that rise and vanish in the mist. Whether it's a plesiosaur, an undiscovered species, or the world’s most persistent optical illusion, Nessie remains a global icon of the unknown.

Legends say the loch never gives up its secrets. And those who wait long enough on its shores? They sometimes get more than a ripple.
