Right, I’m driving along not far from the Loch, glancing out of the window and I see this boiling in the water. I thought, “No, it can’t be anything,” and I carried on for a while longer. Then I looked again, and I saw three black humps. I didn’t want to lose the sight of the thing, so I pulled over to the side of the road, and grabbed my camera. I was trying to remain very cool and nonchalant as I focused the camera to take two or three pictures. In fact, I had taken nine or ten photos without realising it. There was another couple watching it from their car too, but I was just so excited that I forgot to get their name and address. I saw what I saw, and I’m not going to be dissuaded.

The day that I saw the monster was the end of September 1990, and I was driving back from Inverness. I drove up the hill and when I came in sight of the bay, I glanced out across it, and saw this large lump. I know it sounds absurd but it’s the only way I can describe it! The nearest I can tell you is, that it looked like a boat that had turned upside down. I’d say it was about 30 feet in length, and nearly 10 feet in height from the water to the top of its back. It was a clear, sunny day, the water was bright blue, and it really showed up against it. It was a mixture of browns and greens, sludgy sort of colours. I looked at it on and off for a few seconds, because I was driving. Must have seen it three or four times, and the last time I looked, it was gone!
