Thermal drones and hydrophones are being deployed alongside an army of surface watchers
The biggest search for the Loch Ness Monster in 50 years is under way as “incredibly excited” hunters hope to get closer to finding out what the mythical creature is. The newly revamped Loch Ness Centre has teamed up with Loch Ness Exploration , an independent and voluntary research team, to carry out the hunt, which takes place over Saturday and Sunday.
“We’ve had people emailing us from Australia, from New Zealand, from Canada, America and all across Europe. There’s so much love for Nessie out there that we just didn’t realise existed and it’s really amazing to see this bring so many people together.” “What we are doing this weekend is using hydrophones, combined with sonar equipment, which beams light down to the bottom of the loch and then throws back up images of what lie beneath,” Ms Rough said. "I went out on one of the boats this morning – if you pass over anything, the skipper on the boat was able to demonstrate how this technology works and anything, whether it be small or large, will be captured by this sonar imaging equipment.
