Following on from 'Have you seen Nessie?' the LOCH NESS STORY is still as much alive as it has ever been. This weekend saw the arrival of Nick Watt and his crew from ABC News to film 'Good Morning America' live from Loch Ness.
After interviewing local eye witnesses Val Moffat and Ronnie Mackintosh, they interviewed scientist Adrian Shine to get the other side of the story.
Later on Nick Watt bravely donned dry suit and all the gear to go Nessie hunting - plunging into the cold dark depths. The episode took place in the Clansman Harbour opposite the hotel where the amazing picture window gives you a mind blowing panoramic view of the Loch - the ideal position to await the arrival of something strange and paranormal.
Your wait can be softened by an excellent choice of single malt whiskys served in the bar - slainte!!

Loch Ness holds the greatest volume of fresh water in Great Britian. There is more water in Loch Ness than in every lake; river; stream; tributary; pond; canal and reservoir in England and Wales put together.
Into Loch Ness, you can immerse every human being living on earth 3 times over!

Years ago when the SWATCH submarine plied its trade from the Clansman Harbour an American lady was overhead asking the price of this once in a lifetime trip. '£75 madam' was the reply to which she asked 'is that a return?'!
Loch Ness attracts all sorts - James Barrie who wrote Peter Pan, Millais the artist, Trallope the writer to name but a few.
You too can holiday here or short break and be an eccentric for a few days.

Drumnadrochit means 'ridge over the bridge' in gaelic. What it means in English - who knows. Capital of Loch Ness, 8 miles from the Loch Ness Clansman Hotel, Scotland in Bloom winners. Pretty little village with its central point - the village green and its floral Urquhart Castle, well photographed. Well worth a visit to see the castle and the exhibition to you know who!!

The two most asked questions at the Loch Ness Clansman bar are
1. Have you seen the Loch Ness monster?
2. How far is it to the Isle of Skye?

My name is Willie Cameron - answer to all things Scottish especially Loch Ness, whisky, food and drink, a little bit of history, tall tales, short tales, fable and fiction.
Welcome to the living X-files - an experience of a lifetime.

I was once described by Alan Brown of The Sunday Times as having 'boyish sincerity' and by BBC Natural History Unit as likened to Indiana Jones!
I can be found at the Loch Ness Clansman Hotel most days and most nights...usually near the bar or thereabouts.

Going back to these questions, there are two seasons for sightings The Loch Ness Monster "January and the rest of the year" and Skye's not for passing the magnificent Eilean Donan Castle on the way - film location for the original 'Highlander'. You too can walk in Sean Connery's footsteps -see you soon!!
