Mattel create Loch Ness Monster inspired Barbie doll
BARBIE toymaker Mattel has created a new doll inspired by the Loch Ness Monster.
Lorna McNessie is one of the latest additions to the toy manufacturer's Monster High range and is described as the daughter of the mysterious Scottish monster.
She also hails from Rotland, which is described as Monster High's version of Scotland.
Lorna is joined in the new range by characters which also includes ghosts, werewolves and zombies.
Organisation Loch Ness Bid welcomed the doll and believe its creation highlights the widespread interest in the historic monster.
A spokesman for Loch Ness Bid said: "The introduction of the character Lorna McNessie is a testament to the continued interest and drawing power of the Loch Ness Monster.
He added: "The monster is shrouded in mystery and perhaps slightly scary in a nice way for children and it is therefore of little surprise that Mattel have chosen to introduce this character, daughter of the Loch Ness Monster.
