LOCH NESS, Scotland : Hundreds of hopeful volunteers joined a two-day hunt for Scotland's fabled Loch Ness monster on Saturday and Sunday, in what organisers described as the biggest search for the elusive"Nessie" in more than 50 years.
Volunteers from around the world were allocated locations around the 23-mile long lake from which to monitor for any signs of Nessie, while others took to boats. A hydrophone was also used to detect acoustic signals under the water. The first written record of a monster relates to the Irish monk St Columba, who is said to have banished a"water beast" to the depths of the River Ness in the 6th century.
