Loch ness Lake Loch Ness (Scottish Gaelic: Loch Nis) is a large, deep, freshwater loch in the Scottish Highlands extending for approximately 37 km (23 miles) southwest of Inverness. Its surface is 15.8 metres (52 ft) above sea level. Loch Ness is best known for the rare sightings of the legendary Loch Ness Monster, also known as "Nessie".

Loch Ness "monster" The Loch Ness "monster" -- affectionately known as "Nessie" -- is known as a plesiosaur-like creature living in Loch Ness, a long, deep lake near Inverness, Scotland.

Basic Info The first ever Loch Ness Monster Sighting was in 565 A.D by an Irish Saint named Saint Columba There have been over 2,000 Loch Ness Monster Sightings since Saint Columba’s. The Loch Ness Monster resides in the Scottish lake of Loch Ness. Even though there are tons of photos and thousands of sightings, the existence of the beast is still an unsolved mystery. The last Loch Ness Monster sighting to date was in August of 2002.

Ancient Legends In ancient Scotland, there were ancient peoples called Picts. One of the Picts legends described a terrible beast living in a nearby loch. They also carved a picture of the beast in stone. The beast carved in the rock looked like a smaller version of what Nessie believers think Nessie looks like.

Modern legend of Nessie The modern legend of Nessie begins in 1934 with Dr. Robert Kenneth Wilson, a London physician, who allegedly photographed a plesiosaur-like beast with a long neck emerging out of the murky waters.

Nessie . . . A Plesiosaur? Many sightings of the Loch Ness Monster descriptions have indicated that Nessie may be a plesiosaur. Plesiosaurs lived in the age of the dinosaurs, it was a marine reptile that was supposed to have gone extinct when the dinosaurs had gone extinct. It ate fish and marine plants. Many people believe that Nessie is a plesiosaur, but still, there is no proof that the monster exists, so there is no proof that proves Nessie is a plesiosaur. Which leaves one question, what is Nessie?

Is This Nessie?
