Scientists have measured the way Loch Ness tilts back and forth as the whole of Scotland bends with the passing of the tides.
It is a tiny signal seen in the way the waters at the ends of the 35km-long lake rise and fall.
When combined with the direct tug from the gravity of the Moon and Sun, the loch surface goes up and down by just 1.5mm.
The study is reported in the Journal of Geophysical Research.
