Seventh ‘official’ sighting of Loch Ness Monster this year

A tourist who inadvertently photographed the Loch Ness Monster has recorded the seventh “official” sighting of the year. The man says he took the photo while on holiday with his family on 29 August, but didn't realise he had captured the mythical beast until he looked back at his holiday snaps. His photo of a dark object in the distance near Point Clair has now been accepted by the Official Loch Ness Sightings Register.

Couple barred from pub for bondage session

A couple have been barred from a gastro pub for having a bondage session on the terrace in full view of other diners.
