Forestry worker Ross MacAulay has lived all his life around Loch Ness and did not believe in Nessie. But he - and his fellow firefighters - are "baffled" by the 12ft long creature that Ross filmed on his mobile phone.
It is also the first accepted sighting of Nessie by a witness at the loch this year. The other five have been by the loch's webcam.
Ross, 35, is a retained firefighter at Drumnadrochit, lying on the shore of Loch Ness. He is also a tree feller and fencer for Forestry and Land Scotland, working around the loch.
But on July 8, Ross was driving just outside Fort Augustus when he glanced at the water, about 200ft below the road. He said: "There were a couple of kayakers, but 100 yards ahead of them was something below the surface.
