He reportedly did this because fellow association member and long time local tour boat owner &amp; operator George Edwards issued a fierce critique of the long-in-the-tooth (and formally unqualified &#8220;naturalist&#8221; &#8211; <em>a word we can all apply to ourselves by virtue of the fact that we also breathe air<\/em>) \u00a0Adrian Shine&#8217;s Loch Ness museum on the A82 Inverness -Fort William road (see the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.telegraph.co.uk\/news\/uknews\/scotland\/10120313\/Row-over-existence-of-Loch-Ness-breaks-out-among-tourist-bosses.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Daily Telegraph report here<\/a>). According to the Inverness Courier Mr. Shine&#8217;s museum has also quit the chamber.
