Nessie is the pet name given to a creature that may, or may not, live within the waters of Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands. She has been the subject of great controversy for many years. Some believe in her implicitly; others think she is at best a myth, and at worst a load of old codswallop.

This little book covers the Nessie basics - her supposed appearance, the reported sightings of her over the years, the believers’ case for her existence and the non-believers’ explanations for Nessie’s mistaken identity. With a Nessie-spotters’ diary and information on how to report a sighting, what more could you ask for?
