Craig said his theory was based on the considerable depth of the loch 230 metres and the fact that it is surrounded by Scots pines, which grow to 40 metres and have been around in Scot Theories on the Loch Ness monster get stranger every year. The latest suggests that Nessie may not an animal at all but a Scots pine log propelled from the bottom of the Scottish lake to the surface now and again by a build-up of natural gas. Robert Craig, a retired Scottish electron As Craig tells it, one or several may have fallen into the loch, become waterlogged, gradually sunk to the bottom and been partly covered in silt.

The enormous pressure at the bottom of the loch resulting from the depth squeezed together the layers of resin-laden trunk to form a strong, waterproof face, the buoyancy blisters give out and with a hiss of escaping gas the log sinks back to the bottom to repeat the cycle. The release of gas and chemicals in the log as it reaches the surface would account for the foaming that large numbers of Nessie spotters have noted, Craig wrote. Craig said there have been sightings of monsters in several of Scotland's 500 freshwater lochs throughout history, but in three particularly in recent times Loch Ness, Loch Tay and Loch Morar. log. As the log decayed, natural gases built up inside the sealed trunk, driving resin and tar oils in the tree toward the stumps of the branches and the ends of the trunk.

"These resins and oils thus form extrusions or blisters, filled with minute gas bubbles," he wrote. "The process continues and in time the blisters in effect become buoyancy tanks. The log once more can float." On nearing the surface, the internal pressure of the gas inside the trunk is well above the pressure outside.
