Loch Ness Google street view map brings up dodgy photo and leaves Scottish Twitter in hysterics

Images on Google Maps have gone viral in the past from a missing car in a river to someone covering up a 'murder' - that has yet to be proven be it looks eerily suspicious.

But it can also be good for tourists to see what Loch Ness looks like whenever they hear about Nessie.

Last night Loch Ness was trending on Twitter and it was all people could talk about...but it wasn't because we had finally found the mythical creature.

According to a recent YouGov poll, one in seven Brits (14%) believe Nessie exists, with the figure rising to 24% among Scots.

Of course us Scots are still waiting for that day, and tourists too. But when one user decided to search on Goggle Maps, they discovered that when you click on the photo that first appears after you search for the loch, you come across a rather inappropriate photo.

And if we're honest, we're not sure how this got there.

One Twitter user searched 'Loch Ness' in the app and clicked on the street view picture in the bottom left-hand corner and apologised to users in advanced.

The image at first is of an innocent apartment with a pool but as you turn it around, it reveals an image of a naked man - and you could see everything.

The x-rated snap was removed by Google last night. (Google Maps)

In a reply to the post, one man said "I found out that he gets off on posting his nudes to popular attractions on google such as Disney World and gets turned on by the high view counts of the photos.".

Users quickly took to the social media app, warning others not to search it.

The glitch was later removed by Google as more people caught on to the x-rated snap and street view has been disabled.
