Fake: George's Nessie pictureâIt was just a bit of fun, â said the Loch Ness cruise ship captain, 62, whose fake picture was seen around the world.
âIâm now happy to join the roguesâ gallery with the surgeon who produced the best-known Nessie image.â
The so-called âSurgeonâs Photographâ by Dr Robert Wilson, published in 1934, supposedly showed the monsterâs head and neck.

It was later proved to be a hoax but Mr Edwards said: âHow do you think Loch Ness would have fared over the years without that picture?
"Iâve no guilty feelings at all about what Iâve done.â
