A wild camper had an astonishing experience when he captured what appeared to be the "Loch Ness Monster" in his 4k drone footage.

The Scottish Highlands conceal a mystery that has persisted for nearly a century. Since 1933, many people have claimed to have seen a creature swimming in the waters of Loch Ness.

The creature is typically described as large and long-necked, with one or more humps protruding from the water. However, its existence remains unconfirmed.

At that time, Richard and his friends were participating in the Great Glen Canoe Challenge to support the Alzheimer's Society.

Richard said: “I couldn’t believe it. I had to rewind the footage several times and have watched it several times since.".

He added: 'I didn't notice what I had picked up until others told me to watch out for it. It could be a trick of the light but we can't be sure.'
