Sep 17th, 2011 at 11:00AM: Loch Ness has been getting into the news a lot lately. There's been a rise in sightings this year, Nessie was photographed in July, and a UFO was spotted over Loch Ness last month.
Now a new photo of Nessie has emerged. You'll have to go to the link to see it because we don't get a photo budget here at Gadling and Nessie photos don't come cheap. Instead you get to marvel at this fine Lego ...Unidentified Falling Object seen over Loch Ness

Jul 28th, 2009 at 2:30PM: If you thought the only monster in Scotland was the one in Loch Ness, you thought wrong. Mysterious giant cats are stalking the land, and while many people consider them as big a hoax as Nessie, one has recently been sighted and filmed. The video, taken by an off-duty Ministry of Defense dog handler, shows what appears to be a black feline measuring, if you judge by some nearby railway tracks, to ...Want to go on a monster hunt?
Jul 25th, 2009 at 9:00AM: Every country and culture has its monster stories. You can wander the globe and hear tales of all kinds of things that go bump in the night. From giant snakes in the Amazon to legendary ape men in the Himalaya, there are enough rumors of strange creatures to keep cryptozoologists out in the field, chasing shadows, for years to come. If you'd like to go on a monster hunt of your own, Forbes ...Tartan Day with Whiskey and Castles

Jan 31st, 2008 at 11:40PM: So is it possible to see an entire country in a weekend? And not even a long weekend. My college roommate and I had just Saturday and most of Sunday to see Scotland, and we did! First, we took an overnight bus from London to Edinburgh, leaving at 11 pm and arriving at 7 am on Saturday. Then we hopped on one of the countless day-trip bus tours around the highlands. Except the one we took bussed us ...Loch Ness Monster Might Be ... An Elephant?
Apr 11th, 2006 at 2:00PM: When I was a kid,
I was COMPLETELY fascinated by the Loch Ness Monster. The thought that a real-live brontosaurus might still be
swimming around in an inky Scottish lake consumed me. And if I'm honest, there's a part of the legend that moves
