Topic: Caledonian Canal

During the 1980s, the Margaret Thatcher administration considered a plan to train dolphins equipped with cameras and sonar to locate the Loch Ness Monster. The project was eventually scrapped due to concerns about animal welfare, potential confrontations between dolphins and the monsters, and the difficulty of retrieving the dolphins. Redfern also discusses the possibility of the creatures being giant eels or land-adapting plesiosaurs using the Caledonian Canal.
