Scottish Police Chief Calls for Loch Ness Monster Protection Act
Inverness police chief J R Johnstone urged Parliament to pass a special act to shield the Loch Ness monster from hunters and dangerous experiments.

The interview at Inverness Castle described a foggy Loch Ness and noted only about a dozen sightings this year, with the monster described as about 30 feet long with three humps, a lashing tail, and bulging eyes.
