The Loch Ness Monster

The Loch Ness "monster" -- affectionately known as "Nessie" -- is supposed to be a creature living in Loch
Ness, a long deep lake near Inverness, Scotland. Many sightings of the "monster" have been recorded.

The modern legend of Nessie begins in 1934 with Dr. Robert Kenneth Wilson, a London physician, who
photographed a plesiosaur-like beast with a long neck emerging out of the Loch Ness waters. That photo created
confusion. Before the photo, the Loch Ness monster was only a myth. The
locals knew the ancient history of the sea serpent. But people came to the
lake more to relax than to go on expeditions looking for mythical beasts.
After the photo, the scientific experts were called in. First, they examined
the photo itself. The creature could be a plesiosaur. Yes, but it could be a
tree trunk, too. Later, there would be explorations by a submarine with high
technological devices.

Thousands of tourists have been visiting the lake since 1934 and that has generated to the Highlands an
estimated 37 million pounds in 1993, many submarine rides in 1994 and a tourist centre. Unfortunately,
business has slowed down in recent years. In 2007, it was estimated that Nessie tourism brought in an estimated
6 million pounds to the Highlands. Adrian Shine, head of the Loch Ness Project thinks that people are now
more sceptical about what they see: “I think we live in a more pragmatic age, and that people are becoming
more aware of the sort of illusions that can occur on water”, he said.
