LONDON: A high-tech marine drone scouring the depths of Scotland's Loch Ness for one of nature's most elusive beasts has found a "monster" – but not the one it was looking for. 

Rather than the fabled Loch Ness Monster itself, the probe has discovered a 30-foot (9 metre) replica used in the 1970 film The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes, which sank nearly 50 years ago after its buoyant humps were removed.
