The Stronsay Beast -
From a sketch made by Sir Alexander Gibson in 1808

A second sketch of the 1808 Stronsay "monster"
Again, the long serpentine neck, small head and bristly mane are apparent.
The creature's carcass, which some said was that of a basking shark, was found off Stronsay in 1808.
How anybody can claim these are similar, or look even remotely like, a Basking Shark (even a dead, decomposing one) is beyond me. They should either get their eye's tested or are in complete denial.
This is some damned compelling evidence to suggest marine animals like Nessie can and possibly do exist today.
