Many dream of coming to Scotland with hopes of spotting the elusive Nessie, the legendary monster said to reside here.

But if you just cant wait you may be able to view the mythic beast at home in the wee hours of the morning.

Set your alarm to 3:14 a.m. and your browser to the beach-themed iGoogle page.

At precisely that time each day, Nessie allegedly surfaces for 60 seconds, then takes a deep breath and dives back under the dark loch’s surface. Why that time of the morning? Well, according to programmers’ lore, Google developers did it to pay homage to the mathematical quantity Pi.

Some things you just cant make up…..

Saturday March 15th is the start of the trout fishing season on Loch Ness, surrounding river systems and hill lochs.

All over the area trout anglers have been waiting through the winter  for this day and watching the weather forecast avidly.

I have it on good authority that a local artist based near Urquhart Castle was spotted practicing her casts in her garden this morning….
