Nessie - 8 Facts About Loch Ness' Most Elusive Resident

Where there is intrigue and interest, there is always opportunity. This is as true for Loch Ness and its monster just as much as it is for anywhere else. It could be argued that this particular area needs no extra incentive to get tourists visiting with its natural beauty, location and popularity with many water-sports, but having the chance to maybe spy a prehistoric monster while taking in the historic sights is always going to add extra appeal.

Information on where most frequent sightings have taken place is readily doled out to any who ask and there are boat tours that run regularly, taking paying customers out on the surface of the Loch to where there is alleged to be the highest chance of a sighting.

How many and how much of these tales the operators and locals believe is up for debate and varies from person to person, but the demand for such a service must be significant as there are a few businesses that offer this service. Regardless of your own opinion on it, when the worst outcome you can get is a boat trip around some breathtaking scenery and a local history of the monster herself, even if you don't spy anything, it is likely to be a good day.
