Loch Ness Monster could soon be discovered as climate change 'impacting depth of water'

Loch Ness Monster could soon be discovered with climate change impacting the depths of its underwater home, experts have warned.

There are also fears that food sources in Loch Ness could be impacted by rising temperatures, meaning that soon Nessie could be "roaming the banks of Loch Ness" looking for a feed.

Joan Lawrie, project manager with the North Highlands and Islands Climate Hub, said increasingly common extreme weather events - such as the recent heatwave - will create a "much more unstable" climate for the monster if it exists.
