A man who quit his job to hunt for the Loch Ness Monster has been living in a van on the shores of the loch for more than 30 years.
Steve Feltham, 60, has dedicated his life to searching for the elusive beast, living in an ex-mobile library vehicle on Dores Beach on the east side of Loch Ness.
The full-time monster hunter first became interested in the mystery of Nessie at the age of seven in 1970, when visiting the legendary loch on a summer family holiday.
He quickly "fell in love with the mystery" of the monster, but it wasn't until Steve turned 28 that he decided to ditch his old life behind and move to Scotland in search of the beast. He has now spent the last 30 years hunting for evidence of Nessie from the shores of the loch.
From a young age, Steve, originally from Dorset, became fascinated with the Loch Ness Investigation Bureau, a team of volunteers who carried out around-the-clock surveillance in an attempt to capture footage of Nessie.

After returning to Loch Ness several more times on further family holidays, Steve's fascination continued to grow. Eventually, he began journeying to the loch alone on "expeditions".
By this time, Steve was in his 20s and was funding his trips through his work at his father's burglar alarm company. However, he eventually realised he wanted to search for Nessie full-time.
He commented: "Lots more holidays at Loch Ness resulted in me at the age of 28 thinking, 'what do I really want to do with my life?' Do I want to keep earning the money to get back to
