Loch Broom Monster Sighting

Loch Broom, Summer Isles

Loch Broom has witnessed some extraordinary events in its history, but perhaps none as remarkable as the reported sighting of a ninety foot long creature back in 1906. On this particular occasion, two excise officers claimed to have fired at the massive beast as it charged towards them at an astonishing sixty miles per hour. The creature's speed and size were said to be so immense that it managed to dive into the depths of the loch after being shot at. This was not an isolated incident, as local fishermen also spotted the monster, corroborating the excise officers' account.
