In the beautiful highlands of Scotland, there is a lake called the Loch Ness. In these peaceful surroundings, a sea monster known as the 'Loch Ness Monster' is said to be living in the lake. This creature, affectionately known as 'Nessie', has been reported to be seen by many people around the lake.

According to these people, Nessie looked like a creature from the dinosaur age. It had a huge body, a small reptilian head and a long neck.

Does the Loch Ness Monster really exist? No one can tell for sure. Ever since the sighting of the monster, many people have been keeping watch at the lake, hoping to catch a glimpse of Nessie. In 1934, a doctor, Colonel Robert Wilson, even managed to photograph the creature. The picture revealed a creature with a long neck sticking out of the water.
