Published 7th Apr 2017

Loch Ness monster hunters have been featured on The Today Show broadcast by American television network NBC.

Interviews on the programme included Steve Feltham who famously dumped his Dorset girlfriend for a life-long search for Nessie from the shore at Dores.

Last year the man in his 50s was named Ambassador of the Year at the Highlands and Islands Tourism Awards.

Before being honoured with the award, MFR News spoke to Steve on the 25th anniversary of his breakup, which saw him swap Dorset for Dores.

He told us: "I had a very good job, a house, a mortgage...I always had this passion about this mystery...It was always Loch Ness that was calling me."
