The murky allure of
the Loch Ness monster
A scientist has spent four painstaking decades studying
the loch best known for the creature affectionately known as
"Nessie". Why does this mythical monster hold such fascination for so
many people, ask Chloe Hadjimatheou and Vanessa Barford. Adrian Shine has
patrolled lakes by day and night. He's taken countless photos, and he's used
all the latest technological advances in sonar to uncover the mystery behind
Loch Ness monster. Twenty-five years ago this week, he led what was at the time
considered the most extensive search of Loch Ness - a £1m exploration called
Operation Deepscan. The week-long project consisted of a flotilla of 24 boats,
equipped with high-tech sonars, which trawled the 22.5-mile (36km) long, 738ft
(227m) deep lake in the Scottish Highlands for two days.
