An expert has responded to a theory suggesting sightings of the mythical Loch Ness Monster is just one of the thousands of eels swimming in the waters.
Scores of people travel to the famous loch in the Scottish Highlands southwest of Inverness, every year hoping for a glimpse of the beast, first seen in the 1930s when a photograph was taken of the creature.
Several theories have been shared ever since of what it could be, including suggestions it could be a relic from the time of the dinosaurs.
