Scots offered £25k reward for Loch Ness Monster evidence by This Morning's 'Bank of Dave'

A massive reward has been offered to any Scot who can provide definitive proof of the existence of the Loch Ness Monster.

Dave Fishwick, also known as 'Bank of Dave', announced that he will give away £25,000 to anyone who uncovers the mystery of the elusive legend. The businessman and self-made millionaire dropped the bombshell live on ITV’s This Morning on Thursday.

He was at the opening of the newly imagined Loch Ness Centre in Drumnadrochit on the 90th anniversary of the first sighting of Nessie when he unexpectedly announced the prize fund.

The new centre, which will open to the public this Saturday, will no doubt provide important background information to fledgling Nessie hunters keen to take home the cash.

Juliana Delaney, Chief Executive of Continuum, said: "We are absolutely delighted that Dave shares our enthusiasm and passion around this global phenomenon.

"As we look to open our doors, guests will have the opportunity to learn about the legend, and then get to search the famous Loch themselves, armed with further knowledge.

"We wish everyone luck in their search, we know we will be watching the iconic Loch ourselves. As the Loch Ness Centre says ‘Keep Looking’."

The reopening of the Loch Ness Centre coincides with the 90th anniversary of the famous Nessie sighting at the old Drumnadrochit Hotel, when hotel manager Mrs Aldie Mackay reported seeing a 'water beast' in Loch Ness.

The new centre will take visitors through 500 million years of history, as well as the scientific research behind the global phenomenon that is the Loch Ness Monster.

During the one-hour experience, guests will become part of the quest, discovering the real stories and meeting the many real and historic characters associated with the search for the truth about Loch Ness and Nessie.
