The legend of the Loch Ness Monster dates back to the sixth century when a man was drowned by a mysterious creature in the Scottish Highlands.

Since then, there have been a number of \'sightings\' of the Scottish serpent and sightings of the beast reached new highs last year with 18 in total.

Though no one has been able to prove the creature is real, it is often described as large, long-necked, and with one or more humps protruding from the water.
