A camera trap has been discovered by a robotic submersible in Loch Ness, 55 years after it was placed there by Nessie hunters (National Oceanography Centre/PA) -

A robotic submersible undergoing engineering trials in Loch Ness has discovered a camera trap left by Nessie hunters more than half a century ago.

The camera, which is thought to be one of the earliest attempts to catch the Loch Ness monster on film, was found about 180 metres deep in the water during trials of the National Oceanography Centre (NOC) Autosub vessel.
