From the Love Scotland Community
“Saw a giant eel like creature in Loch awe a few decades ago, just where the water narrows at the pass of Brander. It would have been about 6m long and a metre wide. Absolutely huge. Quite freaked me at the time as I was about to splash my face in the water after camping overnight before catching ferry to Mull.” - Johnny Cunningham
