Nessie the Loch Ness Monster is a legendary creature from Scottish folk stories. It is a dinosaur-like creature with a long neck and big humps on its back. It was photographed (allegedly) in 1933 by a man named Hugh Gray, who was walking his dog past the loch! What do you think? Could the Loch Ness Monster be real?
