DRUMNADROCHIT, Scotland: The biggest search for the Loch Ness Monster in five decades takes place in the Scottish Highlands on Saturday , as researchers and enthusiasts from around the world meet to try to track down the elusive Nessie.
The searchers believe the thermal scanners could prove crucial in identifying any strange anomalies in the murky depths.Stretching 36km and with a maximum depth of 240m, the freshwater loch is the UK's largest lake by volume.Reports of an aquatic monster lurking in Loch Ness date back to ancient times, with stone carvings in the area depicting a mysterious beast with flippers.
More recently in May 1933, the local Inverness Courier newspaper reported a couple driving along a newly constructed lochside road seeing"a tremendous upheaval" in the water. But zoologists at London's Natural History Museum determined that the tracks were made with an umbrella stand or ashtray that had a hippopotamus leg as a base.
There are now more than 1,100 officially recorded Nessie sightings, according to The Loch Ness Centre in Drumnadrochit, near Inverness.PREHISTORIC REPTILE
