Loch Ness Monster hunt in photos: See Scotland's biggest search for Nessie in 50 years

Loch Ness Monster enthusiasts gathered in Scotland for what organizers said was the biggest search for the mythical beast in five decades.

The Loch Ness Centre in Drumnadrochit, Scotland, invited "budding monster hunters" and volunteers to join in a search over the weekend for the Loch Ness Monster, also known as "Nessie." During the search, Nessie hunters used drones and hydrophones that record underwater sounds to help keep the 23-mile-long, 2-mile-wide Loch Ness under surveillance.

There have been more than 1,100 reported sightings of the creature over the years, with the first one dating back to 564, according to the official Loch Ness Monster Sightings Register.

No proof of the Loch Ness Monster's existence has ever been found and it's widely considered a myth. That didn't stop potential Nessie hunters.

Here are some of the best photos from the Loch Ness Monster hunt on Saturday and Sunday.
