A week of weird and wonderful sightings across the country culminated last night (Wednesday June 25th) in a magical appearance by the fabled Loch Ness Monster, known by some as the Water Horse.

Using the latest water screen technology, a crew of experts recreated a scene from the magical family film The Water Horse: Legend Of The Deep to provide Loch Ness Monster fans with an incredible, indelible visual confirmation of a much-loved legend.

The event was captured to celebrate the DVD and Blu-ray release of The Water Horse: Legend Of The Deep on 30th June 2008. . Details of how to download video footage of this incredible event are below.

Professor Terry Stevens of Destination Loch Ness, the destination management organisation for the area has been very supportive of the creative activity, saying:

“It is hoped that global awareness of Loch Ness generated by The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep will help support the community in their bid to achieve World Heritage status, based on its outstanding natural scenery and extraordinary cultural history and of course the infamy of the Monster.”
