Where is the nearest monster?
While there are many legends and folklore in the Scottish Highlands, the only known nearest potential monster that you may come face-to-face with is a mere 25 miles in the distance somewhere in the deepest reaches of Loch Ness. However, if you do find her, it is not recommended that you invite “Nessie” back to the cottages. She would not fall under the category of acceptable pets.
