Greg James broadcast live from the Loch Ness Centre today as part of his 2 week trip around the UK helping summer job workers. Iona ( see picture ) welcomed Greg to the Centre and was interviewed live on the Jo Wylie Show . During the broadcast to over 8 million listeners, Iona was asked all about Loch Ness and the Centre and Greg himself said how much he had enjoyed his visit through the Exhibition and that he would definitely be visiting again ! As part of the show, Greg was asked live by Jo to put on our Nessie suit and interview some customers at the Centre ( see picture ) which he did happily. This visit was the final visit of Greg's 2 week tour and he now heads back to London to continue his radio show.

The HOFF comes to visit

At the end of June the one and only David Hasslehoff came to our Centre. He was filming a new documentary with his daughters who accompanied him on his visit. They saw the exhibition and then went on our famous Deepscan Cruise filming all the way.

The Hoff took time to speak with visitors and staff alike and some were lucky enough to get their photos with the Baywatch legend. Robbie Bremner, MD of the Centre, managed 20mins with the Hoff for coffee and home baking; he said, ' David was a very nice guy and had plenty to say about Scotland and the fantastic welcome he had received both at the Centre and Scotland as a whole.'

The Hoff said he thoroughly enjoyed his visit to the Centre and the Cruise on Loch Ness and signed a photo for all the staff at the Centre. We're looking forward to seeing the documentary when it's released.
