One such beast was a sea serpent, which was sighted by two creel fisherman early last century, just off the Douche.
“The body is described as massive as that of a horse, covered with a scaly surface, and spotted. It was the eyes of the monster, however, that attracted most attention. These are said to have been as large as a bowl, and had a most fascinating attraction for the beholder.” (The Orcadian 11 Nov 1905)
