People have been left gobsmacked after learning the national animal of Scotland is actually a made-up creature - but not the one you might imagine. While the Loch Ness monster is one of the most famous creatures associated with Scotland, she is not the mythical beast that has been venerated by the country for years.
In fact, the creature is quite the opposite to Nessie, as the national animal of Scotland is a unicorn. While this won't come as a surprise if you're Scottish - since the creature is found on everything from buildings to passports - people have been left shocked by the discovery.
