coming up to tourist season again lol , thermal inversion is the best bet , cold water lying over warmer water gives that effect on a sonar , seen it going through Loch Ness myself on a couple of fishing boats on passage through , there is a bit that our sonars couldn't get the bottom ( over 600ft ) not far from the Castle but that could've been the sonar being dispersed by an inversion layer which happens

glad to see she enjoyed her hoilday overseas hahaha

I reckon Nessie did a vanishing act when the three Clyde Model Lifeboats took to the water to raise funds for the RNLI a couple of years ago, and couldnt understand the language!

Unless I misunderstood, what they have is a trace, over time, of something a mere 5' long following the boat. 5' doesn't sound too far fetched for a normal cold water fish does it? If it wasn't for the way that the sonar creates the image, there'd be no suggestion of monsters.
Goodness but people are thick and gullible. >>:-(

And they all live in Cumbria, {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-)

Surely for Nessie to be back, it has to have been there in the first place, but as there is no proof of it ever having been there at all it can not be back.
Nessie is just a figment of imagination used to boost tourism to a very beautiful part of Scotland, why not just promote the area rather than this very long drawn out fairy tale?

nah it was definitely nessie, the sign next the lake said so, I read it many times while waiting for the AA van, rear wheel bearing collapsing while riding was interesting....

If that's the one that is/used to be at the Loch Ness centre at Drumnadrochit....
About 35 years ago, we were camping on the shores of Loch News when this thing turned up on the back of a low loader - the owner of the campsite had bought it as an attraction. The local press turned up, and of course, they wanted pictures of it in the loch. Nearly everybody in the campsite, including us kids, helped to lift it off the back of the lorry and dump it in the water. Of course, when we tried to lift it back out, it had filled up with water and weighed about 2 tons... it was still there when we left.
I've got some photos somewhere of us sitting on its back.

Hi,
I had to do an assignment on Nessie back in my zoo days.
It would take a big population of Nessies to keep the species alive and in a confined space there is a danger of inbreeding.
Another problem would be the lack of food resources for a large population.
Regards

Oh dear , another myth. >>:-( Look at today`s (sunday 29th April) weather on BBC charts. Seems like wall to wall sunshine in Scotland, no wind and there will be a couple of thousand skiers on Cairngorm enjoying the crisp fresh snow. Looks kinda damp in the English parts of the UK. {-)

Dear Nessie keeps cropping up, I take it the season must be a bit quiet at the moment !
"The most convincing Nessie photograph ever': Skipper claims to have finally found proof that Loch Ness Monster exists"
Hmm. looks like a fish to me -

You could be right,...if it is a fish, which i suspect it probably is,its most likely to be a Sturgeon,they can grow to over 4m and weigh in excess of 1100lb,they are primarily bottom feeders...hence one of the reasons why Nessie is rarely seen,and they can live for a very long time,...and it is likely that there is more than one,

The paper story mentions "US Military Monster experts". Even if there was such a thing, where did he get his training? Expert in military monsters? I reckon it was published 4 months and 2 days late.
-
Well if there were such things you could bet the military would try to use it as a weapon.
They already use dolphins, killer whales etc.

Could someone answer a simple question?
When were the locks in Loch Ness built?
When was Nessie first spotted?
After watching a TV thingy on the box about wildlife in London....well. Seals seem to be pretty clever things. BY.
-
According to one popular 'newspaper' Freddie Starr ate it !
-
That would be locks on the Caledonian Canal, 1822 according to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caledonian_Canal#History
-
Water based sighting 1871
On land 1879

You forgot about St Columba and the monks of St Benedict Abbey in Fort Augustus . Way long before the 18 or 19th century, 560 ad or thereabouts.
