6. Scotland 1913-2013

years.

Scotland are still very polite.

8. Loch Ness
 Loch Ness is a
big, deep, freshwater lake in
the Scottish Highlands.
 Area: 56.4 km2.
 Length: 36.3 km.
 Common Fish: Arctic
Char, Northern Pike, Atlantic
Salmon and Brown Trout.
 The Loch Ness Monster is
believed to be a myth and is
said to have been seen in
Loch Ness since the early
700’s.
 The Loch Ness monster is one
of the most famous ‘mythical’
creatures.
 I believe in the Loch Ness
Monster because it could have
been a dinosaur that didn’t
become extinct, because it
lived in water and not on land.
Crocodiles lived at the same
time as dinosaurs and still
exist - therefore the Loch
Ness Monster may still exist.
