In northern Scotland there is a long, deep lake called Loch Ness. More than 200 meters deep, it is the largest lake in the UK. People say a big monster（怪兽）lives in its dark, cold waters. It weighs more than 1,000 kilos and is at least ten meters long. Some people say it has a head like a horse. Others say it looks like a snake. Many people travel to Loch Ness to look for this strange monster, but only a few people have seen it. At least, they say they have seen it.
The Loch Ness Monster is a famous legend（传说）. The first story about a monster in Loch Ness was told over 500 years ago, but the legend of the monster spread widely only in the twenties century.

During the 1960s, a team was formed to look for the monster. They took many photos and made movies, but they were never able to find a monster.
