A very convincing account of a lake monster here:

Ewan Mac Donald hires boats and fishes the Loch. He tells Richard the secret of Loch Morar, a secret to match any in the Highlands. The pitch black, inky depths of the Loch is home to a monster. Morag, the monster of Morar has been sited for centuries and was even mention by St. Columba but the locals are reluctant to talk about it, they say people will think they are exaggerating or fabricating stories to drum up tourism but whatever the truth Ewan's story seemed credible.
He claims to have spotted the monster twice and it bears a remarkable similarity to the it's more illustrious neighbour at Loch Ness. Black and long with a number of humps as it glides through the water but it appears to be a timid beast and camera shy. Ewan, at least, has no doubt of its existence.
