Stay
away from the water... Tooth of a great white shark discovered off coast of
Scotland gives more evidence that killer creatures like to visit UK
By Eddie Wrenn
Evidence
that great white sharks used to roam the waters off Britain has been found -
thanks to a huge tooth found embedded in a crab pot.Shark experts believe that
the huge tooth found embedded in the rope of a crab pot off port of Gairloch in
Western Scotland belonged to the Great White shark, the species popularised in
the 1976 thriller Jaws.Richard Peirce, chairman of the Shark Conservation
Society, said the latest discovery was the first conclusive evidence so far

a made by two fishermen, who - recognising its possible significance -
immediately sent images of the part fossilised tooth to the Cornwall-based
society for verification.

How long will it be before
someone suggests that this is the explanation for the Loch Ness creature? Sceptics

David Murray Rose in a letter to the Scotsman in 1934 was possibly the first to suggest the LNM was a shark based on recent sightings of sharks in the Moray Firth.
Was told by a wildlife expert some years ago now that Great Whites do visit British waters.
