LOCH NESS: THEY CREATED A MONSTER

A fresh take on Scotland’s most famous story – the unbelievable story behind the unbelievable story of the search for the Loch Ness Monster.

Rumours and sightings of a dinosaur-like creature had persisted at the Loch for decades, and the 1970s saw a frenzy of Monster Hunting. From Japan, the US, and across the world, World War 2 veterans, mad scientists, and hippies were drawn to a remote lake in the highlands of Scotland competing in a search for what they passionately believed would be the Natural History Discovery of the Century. But the deeper they looked, the darker it got. Monster egos, fakes and frustrations, rivalries, and ridicule mean that Loch Ness quickly became home to a very different type of monster.
