Loch Ness Applies as a World Heritage Site

An advocate group for the Loch and the surrounding area is going to apply to make the lake a UNESCO World Heritage site. In addition to the natural elements of the largest freshwater lake in the British Isles, the monster is clearly part of the mix. This would of course make it an even more attractive tourism spot. The beginning of the summer season has already seen world wide news reports of new and unimpressive "Nessie" footage, as well as BBC coverage of a sonar-equipped tour boat to look for the beasts.
