Nessie’s underwater hideaway may have been found by a former fisherman who sonically maps the depths of the world’s seas.
43-year-old sightseeing boat captain Keith Stewart has found a crevice about nine miles east of Inverness and has measured it with state of the art sonar equipment at 889 feet.
Britain’s deepest loch is Loch Morar, allegedly home to elusive ‘water kelpie’ Morag at 1017 feet.
Loch Ness, which is the second deepest is previously recorded at 813 feet deep.
Jacobite Cruises, which operates sight seeing cruises down Loch Ness from Inverness , have christened the trench as ‘Keith’s Abyss’.
Loch Ness is part of a gargantuan earthquake fault line that runs all the way from Canada to Norway.
In 2013, there was a 2.4 magnitude earthquake in the loch, perhaps this is when Keith’s Abyss formed.
