Перевод:

В Шотландии существует 1) легендарная история о чудовище, называемом Лох-Несским чудовищем, которое обитает в водах Лох-Несса. Местные жители просто называют его "Несси". Слово "лох" на шотландском означает "озеро". Озеро очень глубокое и длинное, что делает его идеальным местом для такого робкого и 2) скрытного существа. Было зафиксировано много 3) наблюдений монстра, начиная с 6 века. Первое фотографическое 4) свидетельство было получено в 1934 году доктором Кеннетом Уилсоном, врачом из Лондона. На снимке, по-видимому, изображен 5) доисторический динозавроподобный зверь с длинной шеей, появляющийся из мутных вод. Фотография вызвала большой переполох и до сих пор остается в центре споров. Некоторые 6) скептики утверждают, что фотография является либо 7) подделкой, либо честной ошибкой. Они полагают, что то, что люди видели, на самом деле — тюлени или выдры, которые иногда встречаются в озере, или даже такие объекты, как стволы деревьев. Что бы ни обитало в озере, оно привлекает множество туристов каждый год в надежде увидеть это!
