The loch ness monster: is it a myth or a creature lurking in the lakes of Scotland?

For centuries the loch ness monster has brought worldwide crowds to Scotland in hopes of a glimpse of this mysterious creature.

One man gave up everything to fulfill his childhood dream of searching for the loch ness monster and has been searching for 25 years.

Recently profiled by Great Big Story, Steve Feltham holds the record for longest continuous vigil hunting for the loch ness monster.

Scott, a former leukaemia sufferer, who also completed the 2002 London Marathon in a diving suit, begins the attempt on Sunday and will take 14 days to complete his 26-mile underwater trek where he will be 30 feet (9.14 metres) below the surface of the loch, the home of the mythical Loch Ness Monster.

A major six month long study is currently taking place, the 'National Golden Eagle Survey', which is the first of its kind in 12 years. The survey is co-funded by the RSPB and Scottish Natural Heritage. Surveyors from the RSPB working in collaboration with the Scottish Raptor Study Groups aim to provide a picture of the populations of breeding pairs of eagles across the country to determine whether conservation efforts are working. GPS tags are used to monitor the birds, and act as a deterrent against wildlife crime, which continues to be a major risk. 17 Golden Eagles were confirmed illegally killed in Scotland between 2003 and 2013 but the true figure is likely to be many more. The count will update the previous figure of some 440 breeding pairs of Golden Eagles in Scotland with only one adult male bird South of the border in the Lake District. Golden Eagles were once common across Britain, but due to persecution were only found in Scotland by the mid-19th century. Numbers have increased steadily since then but Golden Eagles still face pressures from poorly sited windfarms, large scale planting of conifers like Sitka spruce and, particularly, illegal killing.

In 2008 he told The Guardian his goal was to find the monster himself, but he also hopes to make photos of any current sightings available to the public.

Previous photos of the monster were revealed to be hoax photos.

Feltham lives in a mobile home that, after a decade of searching, is no longer mobile. It's now parked south of the lake on Dores beach.

Monster hunting doesn't exactly pay the bills so Feltham's primary source of income has been clay models of Nessie, the Loch Ness monster's nickname, that he sells on his web site.

No sightings of the loch ness monster yet for Feltham, but talk about an unusual hobby!
