Monster hunters/ researchers
Pictured above are from L to R, Willie Cameron, Steve Feltham, Gary Campbell, Adrian Shine. This was taken at the launch of the Jacobite Rebel cruise boat on the loch in August 2015. It's said that getting four Nessie experts togther is a rarer sight than the monster herself.........
