There are few mysteries as enduring as that of the Loch Ness Monster — a mystery that dates back to the 6th century! So, what is the story of the Loch Ness Monster and why is it so popular?
The first sighting of a monster in the Loch Ness area was recorded in 565AD. Saint Columba, an Irish monk, was travelling through Scotland when he came across a group of people burying a man near the River Ness. When he asked what had happened they claimed the man had tried to cross the river and was attacked by a monstrous water beast. Curious, Columba asked one of his followers to try swimming across the river. A monster approached him but Columba stepped forwards and, making the sign of the cross, said “Go no further. Do not touch the man. Go back at once.” The monster fled before him!
There are no more recorded sightings of the monster until the 1800s, but that isn’t to say the monster wasn’t seen. However, interest in the monster only really took off in the 1930s. In 1933, a local couple claimed to have seen the most extraordinary beast cross the road in front of their car and head into the loch. They described the beast as having a large body and a long, thin, wavy neck slightly thicker than an elephant’s trunk. They saw no limbs on the creature.Many sightings followed and in 1934 the famous ‘Surgeon’s Photograph’ was taken. The photo shows what appears to be a dinosaur-like creature and it sparked several theories about what the creature was, how it came to be in the loch, and it gave us the image of Nessie we know and love. There are so much theories about the Loch Ness Monster.
