If he’s real why isn’t he on Insta?
1. Apparitions go back a long way
In the summer of 564, the Irish abbot Saint Columba saw an animal about to attack a man swimming along the shore of Loch Ness and ordered him to “return with all speed.”
It happen.
And Columba is credited with saving the man’s life and performing a miracle.
It is also believed to be the first sighting of the Loch Ness Monster.

2. The most famous photo is fake
In 1934, London surgeon Dr Robert Kenneth Wilson was exploring a new road near the Loch when he captured an image of a creature with an elongated neck bobbing in the water.
However, in the early 1990s, a man named Christian Spurling came forward with a confession. Apparently, his stepfather, the awesomely named Marmaduke Wetherell added a wooden neck to a toy submarine and fired it.
But as Marmaduke had previously been exposed as a Loch Ness Monster hoaxer – he used a stuffed hippopotamus’ leg to prove the creature came ashore – he felt his credibility was a bit lacking and he convinced the more respected Dr Wilson to take the lead.
Wilson made £100 from the shot from the London Daily Mail but didn’t want his name associated with it, so it was simply called ‘the surgeon’s picture’.
3. So what could it be?
The most likely animal is the lake sturgeon which can weigh hundreds of kilos and have distinctive hard plates on their spines.
But then paleontologist Neil Clark has also shown that many traveling circuses in the area when the monster was first spotted – the 1930s – had elephants.

Reflection of mountains in still water, seismic activity and surface trees have also been suggested.

4. What exactly is found down there?
During the 2009 search for Nessie, 100,000 sunken golf balls were found.
5. Dinosaurs in a haystack
The search area is very wide.
The loch is not only 36 kilometers long and an average of 1.5 kilometers wide, it is also so deep that it contains more water by volume than all the Welsh and English lakes combined.
6. He is a money spinner
According to a 2018 study cited by Scotland’s Press and Journal, the Nessie industry could be worth around $80 million annually to the Scottish economy.
That’s a lot of boat trips, souvenirs and overnight tours.
It is also considered the first sighting of the Loch Ness Monster.Christine_Kohler
7. It is as dark as sin
The peat that is constantly being washed into the lake by Scotland’s constant rain makes visibility almost impossible.
We are talking an average of around 10cm.
Which helps if you’re a shy monster, we guess.

8. Dino maybe?
If you love your dinosaurs, you might notice similarities between Nessie and a marine plesiosaur that lived 205 million years ago.
9. He goes around
There are about 20 reported sightings a year and there are over 1000 in total.
10. A real TV/movie star
There are hundreds of movies and documentaries about the Loch Ness monster.
Even Scooby Doo has had a crack.
11. This science is quite final
When a team from the University of Otago carried out water analysis – over 200 one liter deep and shallow samples – in the lake, it found 500 million organisms and 3000 species.
There are no genetic sequence matches for sharks, catfish, sturgeon, thus ruling out large exotic fish in the lake.
They also compared the samples to monster-free lochs.
12. However, people believe
According to a YouGov survey of 3840 British adults, 15 per cent said they believed in the Loch Ness monster.
Among Scottish respondents, that figure rose to 27 percent.
