Flip it over

THE LOCK NESS MONSTER
The legend of Loch Ness is about a mysterious creature that's said to live in a deep, dark lake in Scotland called Loch Ness. People call this creature the Loch Ness Monster or "Nessie" for short. Nessie is described as having a long neck and humps like a dinosaur or a big serpent. Many people claim to have seen Nessie over the years, but there's no solid evidence that it exists. Despite this, the legend of Nessie continues to capture people's imaginations, and it's become a famous part of Scottish folklore.

THE KELPIE
The legend of the Kelpie comes from Scottish folklore, particularly in the Highlands. A Kelpie is a mythical water creature that often takes the form of a horse. It's said to lurk in rivers and lochs, appearing as a beautiful horse to lure people closer. Once a person mounts the Kelpie, it drags them underwater and devours them. Kelpies are believed to be shape-shifters, sometimes appearing as handsome men or other animals. They are known for their dark, eerie presence, and they're often depicted as malevolent beings in Scottish stories. The legend of the Kelpie serves as a cautionary tale to beware of the dangers lurking in the waters.
