Google marks 81st anniversary of iconic Loch Ness monster photo with Street View map
Photo: The "Surgeon's Photograph" of 1934, now known to have been a hoax
Many have tried and failed to prove the existence of the Loch Ness Monster - now Google has joined the search.
The firm has, with the help of divers and experts, used its Street View cameras to capture parts of the Scottish loch, the reputed home of the famous cryptid. Its images, taken both above and below the surface of the water, are available to view from today - giving armchair travellers the chance to admire the scenery - or plunge to the depths in search of Nessie.
One image in particular caught our eye. Is this the monster?
