A Reminder of History Amidst Beauty
Captain Thomas Hamilton Perfect.
Wormsley Oh, it's an amazing view, sir.
Captain Thomas Hamilton HMS Royal Oak was lost to a German U-boat in Scapa Flow, not a hundred miles from this spot, 833 sailors lost. We're not here for the scenery, Wormsley.
Wormsley Yes, sir.
Captain Thomas Hamilton Now, make no mistake, we are on the front line here. Now, I have studied the German advance. If they invade, they will come right through here. This is the deepest loch in Scotland. It's perfect for their troopships. But they will send submarines first for reconnaissance.
Wormsley Won't the steel net stop them, sir?
Captain Thomas Hamilton The submarine net will be down to permit passage by routine marine traffic and to let their subs in. And then we will raise the net... and we will destroy them.

The Legend of the Water Horse
Lewis Mowbray Aye, it was my Uncle Lachlan who first told me about them. Many years ago, there was a lost traveler, and he's weeping bitter tears, because he cannot find his way home. H-He'd given up hope. Then suddenly, who should appear at the bank of the loch to this traveler but a sea spirit. A water horse. Now, the traveler, no fool is he, knows that the water horse is a creature of magic, one that could grow 10 feet tall overnight. So the traveler, he feeds the water horse, strokes it, flatters it with compliments, and finally, the traveler says: "Incidentally, water horse, my dear friend, I'm wondering, if you've no other pressing engagements, could I trouble you to carry me across the loch on your back? Show me the way home?
