When these supernatural things are seen it backs up the biblical story of the great white throne judgment, how can the lord know of all individuals life from the beginning of history?? The dead in christ are sleeping, but seeing aparitions like this is confirmation of life being recorded

That'll be why there is no path on the south shore of Loch Katrine between the Queen's cottage and the quay for the boat. It always struck me as odd. Jules Verne wrote a whole book based on Loch Katrine, 'The Underground City'. Not one of his better works, it reads more like a penny dreadful.

Wow what a story John reminds me of my days in Shetland where some of the lochs were called Brandi Water and these were the ones which contained waterhorses. When fishing one of these lochs I had the strangest eerie feeling and hightailed it. When I related the story to the couple whose guest house I was staying in they told me the story of the waterhorses, up until that point I hadn't a clue about them. They told me because I was intending taking something from the loch, a trout, then the waterhorse would scare me away. I didn't fish any of these lochs ever again. Good luck with this new channel it is going to be classic.

A cracking tale, a great video and just the right narration. When on holiday in the Gairloch area a good few years back; we met up with a local. His manner and story-telling tone was very much in the style of Private Fraser from Dad's Army. He told the story of the "Loch Na Beiste" a small loch near Gairloch/Mellon Udrigil; and the efforts to rid the loch of it's famously dangerous beast. A wild tale which involved fearful locals, elders of the local church, draining the entire loch and then using barrels of lime to rid the loch of the lethal animal. The animal seems like it was somewhat similar in scope to the Waterhorse of Loch Venachar. Whilst we did make the short walk to the Loch Na Beiste shoreline, and although the weather was mild, we just couldn't face the risk of going into the dark peaty waters even for a quick paddle...
