If they didn’t have Nessie...about half of the tourism around Loch Ness would dry up. Why would any idiot trudge all the way up there...just to look at a deep lake and drink five-star whiskey?

Nessie can be a pretty handy pilgrim around election day..

I wouldn’t mind the countryside but I don’t drink.

Having been there, I loved the Scottish Highlands. My wife an I got married in Inverness.

Yes, the five-star whiskey was the best part of the trip. Came home with several of bottles of 40 year old single malt, where a couple are now 50 years old. Thoroughly enjoyed the time I spent there.

And that scam of a “monster” was never even part of the discussion of what we were going to do on any given day. It never entered our consciousness. There are so many beautiful estates and a wonderful history to engross you, following a hoax is never part of your time.
