I went to college in Aberdeen, Scotland. Every spring there is a Nessie sighting or controversy to get people to Inverness. There is NO other reason to go there.
I kind of liked Inverness... some parts of it are rather pretty to walk around, especially the islands in the Ness.
I went to college in St. Andrews - now there's a place that's not worth visiting. Feh.
One heck of a tooth. If it is real, there’s a good reason for the bailiff to make it disappear – it would be bad for tourism. People will flock to the site of a fictitious monster, but if there’s a chance they could end up like the deer?
I happen to love Inverness, ...and there are interesting ruins like Urquehart castle along the shores of Loch Ness. For film buffs...Findhorn, one of the "fantastic" places mentioned by Andre in "My dinner with Andre" is also nearby.
Sure there is. I was in the USAF on leave and backpacked with a buddy from the Med to the Isle of Skye and back for a month. Got off at the Inverness train station. Caught the bus to Loch Ness where our bed-and breakfast was. About 2 miles from the little museum there.
The air temp was 74F, the water temp was the same and the rain was the same. We put our stuff under a big tree and undressed and climbed over those glacial rocks with a bar of soap, a rag and a shaver to clean ourselves up. That's on a ledge. One more step or two and you will go straight down hundreds of feet if you can't swim.
I'm surprised nobody looked into the validity of Mr. McDonald as a private investigator/forensic artist. A quick google turns up:

Mr. McDonald is much more than a private investigator or a forensic artist. He's someone who makes a living off of the publicity generated by things like this. Put it together with the lochnesstooth.com domain being privately registered so nobody can see whose name is on the account, and all of a sudden, pictures or not, it smells a lot more like a hoax.
