Even weirder it\u2019s was so hot that the loch\u2019s water is drying out. There was a smell in the air it smelt like an animal. I can almost see the massive skerries near the shores. I feel weird I need to sit down. Thud!<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">When I sat up I saw a scaly horse it had mixture of colours green, black, grey and white. I wondered how it got there? It\u2019s hair was as long as a elephants trunk and a tail that looked like the fin of a seal. It\u2019s eyes were as black as the night sky. The mane was so tangled up it looked like my sisters hair when she wakes up. It\u2019s teeth were as sharp as a blade.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">I stood up and looked it in the eye. It stared back at me. I tried to touch it but it didn\u2019t let me. I stepped backwards and tripped over a rock. I was terrified I tried to jump on it\u2019s back and I did. It started to go crazy but somehow I didn\u2019t fall off so I tried to calm it down but my hand couldn\u2019t get back off it. I was shouting in horror! I\u2019m \u00a0\u00a0trying as hard as I can but the more I try the more I get stuck and all of a sudden my whole body is stuck to it!<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">It started running towards the water faster and faster we hit the massive skerries. I scraped my arm off a skerrie it was bleeding like crazy. Then the horse and I went underwater, no one heard my screams. I was going to die but I heard a splash a big one it was another horse was in the water.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The next thing I know I\u2019m on the land with a horse right in my face.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">I was so confused It looked like a horse a weird horse there\u2019s been rumours of a horse that lives in the water what was it that they called it. It\u2019s a Kelpie! And there was a whole herd of them! Oh no I\u2019m in trouble. I ran to my house it followed me I tried to feed it and it ate so I took care of them. I went to sleep and the next day it was MISSING!<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-84\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/fa\/public\/morayp6k\/uploads\/sites\/3299\/2023\/02\/02120303\/2C41EF59-57CD-4064-B21C-05D88CA0F8BA-300x225.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/fa\/public\/morayp6k\/uploads\/sites\/3299\/2023\/02\/02120303\/2C41EF59-57CD-4064-B21C-05D88CA0F8BA-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/fa\/public\/morayp6k\/uploads\/sites\/3299\/2023\/02\/02120303\/2C41EF59-57CD-4064-B21C-05D88CA0F8BA-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/fa\/public\/morayp6k\/uploads\/sites\/3299\/2023\/02\/02120303\/2C41EF59-57CD-4064-B21C-05D88CA0F8BA-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/fa\/public\/morayp6k\/uploads\/sites\/3299\/2023\/02\/02120303\/2C41EF59-57CD-4064-B21C-05D88CA0F8BA.jpeg 1260w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-85\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/fa\/public\/morayp6k\/uploads\/sites\/3299\/2023\/02\/02120308\/6FE2F52F-7A07-4930-A3AE-8D140E9F0602-225x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/fa\/public\/morayp6k\/uploads\/sites\/3299\/2023\/02\/02120308\/6FE2F52F-7A07-4930-A3AE-8D140E9F0602-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/fa\/public\/morayp6k\/uploads\/sites\/3299\/2023\/02\/02120308\/6FE2F52F-7A07-4930-A3AE-8D140E9F0602-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/fa\/public\/morayp6k\/uploads\/sites\/3299\/2023\/02\/02120308\/6FE2F52F-7A07-4930-A3AE-8D140E9F0602-rotated.jpeg 945w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Kelpie There\u2019s a loch in the coldest country in the world and it was a day like no other there was no storm cloud in sight.
