A French tourist believes he has found the Loch Ness monster
Pharmacist Etienne Camel and his wife Eliane were taking holiday snaps near the loch when they saw a large dark shape moving beneath the surface of the water for several minutes.
Camel, who hails from Lyon, said: "It was quite strange. I am a man of science so I never believed that the Loch Ness monster is a prehistoric animal. But when I was taking a picture I saw this long, long shadow. I called my wife over and we saw the shadow move.
"I thought maybe it was a cloud, but there was none, or a boat, but none was near or reefs. There were small waves, like something was moving. It was 15-20m long and was about 150m away. It was quite strange and then it disappeared."
He added: "We could not tell if it was an animal, but something was moving under the water. I have never seen such (things) in lakes - and we have many where we live - before."
