Famous Loch Ness Monster hunter Robert Rines reported his own sighting of the creature in 1972, an encounter that sparked a lifelong passion and produced some of the most famous and controversial Nessie photographs to date.
Robert Rines, who died on November 1 aged 87, was an American lawyer, composer, inventor and physicist but best known in Britain as a cryptozoologist who used some of his inventions to try to prove the existence of the Loch Ness Monster.
