Amateur sleuths with a taste for the supernatural will be glued to their screens next weekend in a bid to try and discover the truth behind Scotland's biggest mystery.
"Monster hunters" from as far away as Japan and New Zealand will be tuning in to livestreams of Scotland's Loch Ness in the hope of settling a longstanding debate as to whether or not the famed monster, affectionately named Nessie, actually exists.
"The volunteers are going to be watching the water," said Nixon. "If they spot something, hopefully they will film it and then submit it to our online portal." Now the interactive attraction has joined forces with Loch Ness Exploration, an independent and voluntary research team, to scour the waters like never before in the hope of uncovering some answers.
Dubbed "the quest," the event will involve surveying equipment that has never previously been used there, such as thermal drones to produce images from the air using infrared cameras and a hydrophone to detect acoustic signals under water. Appealing to budding monster hunters to sign up, he added: "It's our hope to inspire a new generation of Loch Ness enthusiasts and by joining this large scale surface watch, you'll have a real opportunity to personally contribute towards this fascinating mystery that has captivated so many people from around the world."
