Experts believe that the effects of climate change on Loch Ness could see the enduring mystery around its most famous inhabitant finally solved.
They think that, with food sources being affected by rising temperatures in the famous loch, the Loch Ness Monster, if it exists, may be forced to search closer to the shore, or even on the banks, reports The Daily Star.
Project manager of the North Highland and Islands Climate Hub Joan Lawrie said that as extreme weather events become more common - such as the last heatwave - there will be a "much more unstable" climate for Nessie.
