BBC Radio Scotland - Brainwaves, Series 6, A Monster of a Loch

Pennie Latin discovers why Scotland's monster loch is rich for scientific exploration.

This Brainwaves is not going to provide us with any answers to that question but we are going to uncover some of the intriguing science that Loch Ness has given us over the years!

Loch Ness is a monster of a loch - so vast it holds more water than all the lakes and rivers of England and Wales combined - which is why, when it comes to studying it, it presents something of a challenge to scientists and researchers.  This Brainwaves is not going to provide any answers to that question…but we are going in search of unknown species and the intriguing science that Loch Ness can provide us with.  The whole monster obsession with this Loch has been obscuring our view of this remarkable stretch of water which, thanks to how it was formed, has given us a giant natural outdoor laboratory.  Pennie Latin heads out onto and into the water to discover the scientific riches that lie under the surface of myth and legend!
