HAS the mystery of the Loch Ness monster been finally solved with one photo?

The moment that three monster-like humps rise out of the waters of Loch Ness has been captured on film by amateur photographer Ian Bremner - adding fuel to the fire that the monster really does exist.

8 Amateur photographer Ian Bremner, 58, said he caught sight of the monster while searching for red deer

The 58-year-old photographer said he was left stunned when he realised his photograph may be one of the only pieces of evidence proving the existence of the creature.

The whisky warehouse worker said he had been driving around the Highlands in search of red deer, also taking photos of the calm waters of the Loch Ness.

But it wasn't until the father of four got back home to Nigg in Invergordon that he looked through his photos - and realised what he might have been looking at through the camera lens.

The photograph taken by Bremner appears to show a long silver creature, at least two metres long, swimming away from the lens with its head bobbing and tail flapping.

Coming up for air, the slippery creature glistens in the sunlight, with its powerful stroke causing ripples in the calm water.

The photograph was taken close to the banks of the loch on Saturday afternoon midway between the villages of Dores and Inverfarigaig.

The amateur photographer said: "It’s a part of the world that always makes you second guess what you’re seeing.

"When you're up there you're constantly looking in the water to see if you can spot anything in there.

"This is the first time I've ever seen Nessie in the loch. It would be amazing if I was the first one to find her."

He admitted he had previously been a sceptic when it came to the mysterious creature - but his mind was now changing.

He said: "I’m normally a bit of a sceptic when it comes to Nessie and I think it’s just something for the tourists but I'm starting to think there is something out there.

"When I saw it on my screen I said ‘what the hell is that?’

"If you’re fishing there it’s the sort of place where you can get a tingle up your spine and second guess what you’re seeing.

"You start seeing things even when you know fine there’s nothing there."

The photograph bears a striking resemblance to popular folklore than the monster is a long serpent creature.

Rumours of the monster of the deep lake have stretched back as far at 1933, with a number of possible encounters captured in photographs.

A mum of three claimed she caught site of the monster while she was sitting on the lake's banks. The 28-year-old said her eyes "popped out" of her head when she saw the creature skim across the lake's surface.

But theories have even been thrown around that Nessie has moved to Hull and is living in the River Humber.

Other theories have said the monster died, with a dog walker finding what appeared to be the skeleton of the monster next to the lake.

But while hopes are high that this is finally the evidence needed to prove the monster's existence, others aren't sure.

Some of Ian's friends have thrown cold water on their friend's photograph, suggesting that it simply could be three seals in a row.

Ian said: "I suppose it could be seals - but I'm not so sure. The more I think about it, the more I think it could be Nessie."

Over the years there have been 1081 recording sightings of the Loch Ness monster.

It is thought that the tourism industry in the area owes £30m to the monster.
