The Beast of Loch Morar
Everyone has heard of Scotland's most famous cryptid: Nessie, the Loch Ness Monster (or, monsters, if they exist - since there clearly can't be just one).
But, it's a seldom discussed fact that Loch Ness is not the only Scottish lake with a monster tradition attached to it. Take, for example, Loch Morar, said to be the home of the menacing Morag.
