14 DAY TRIAL // The Loch Ness monster has become a true legend over the years, and it owes its popularity to the famous "Surgeon's Photograph" which allegedly revealed the creature in all its might.
Having contributed to its worldwide fame, this picture, although revealed to have been a hoax on the part of the London gynaecologist, remains a worthy factor in the controversial story that has circulated over the years.
To celebrate the release of the picture, given that it was published in the Daily Mail on 21 April 1934, Google gives people the opportunity to go on the lookout for the infamous creature. And they can do that from the comfort of their own home with a little help from 360-degree Street View imagery of Loch Ness to Google Maps.
They will be able to explore the beauty of the lake, and maybe spot out the monster while at it.
While keenly concentrated on your search, you might notice the Google’s yellow Pegman changes to a smaller but equally dangerous monster.
Google made this known to the public in an official blog post, but also through a doodle which mocks the famous picture.
The project has been kept a secret from public eyes until now
It was revealed that in order to create the Google Map of the loch, leader of the Loch Ness & Morar Project, Adrian Shine, also known as the man who claims to have seen the monster numerous time, has actively participated in the project, using his experience to provide "breath-taking imagery" for the viewers.
Google is also trying to promote Scotland’s touristic potential by allowing people all over the world to catch a glimpse of the beauties that the country has in store.
Not that it would need that much publicity. Ever since the first sighting of the monster was reported, people have stepped forward to explore the habitat of the notorious beastly creature.
