MONSTER-HUNTERS are an endangered species at Loch Ness these days, but back in the 1970s its shores bristled with schoolchildren, hippies, students and renegade scientists all hoping to catch a glimpse of the world's last living dinosaur.

No one knew where he came from - or where he went when he disappeared 14 years later - but in between, he became almost as famous as the creature itself.
