THE LOCH NESS

Where's the Loch Ness?
The Loch Ness is
in the North of
Scotland, in the
Scottish
Highlands.

The loch Ness is very important in Scotland.
Why?

Because...
It is approximately 39 Km
long.
It is the second largest
Scottish loch by surface
area but it is the first one
by volume in Britain.
Its deepest point is 230m.

It is also very important because people say that...
A MONSTER lives there!!!

This monster is called Nessie and people
say that it is similar to a dinosaur, a
'plesiosaur'
Plesiosaur

St. Columba was
the first person
who saw Nessie,
in 565.

This is the first photo of Nessie.
It was taken on the 12th of November 1933
by Hugh Gray .

The Surgeon's photograph
This is its most famous
picture.
It was taken by Robert
Kennet Wilson on the 19th
of April 1934.
In 1993, Christain Spurling
confessed on his death bed
that this photo was a fake.
It wasn't Nessie. It was a toy
submarine
and
plastic
wood.

But other people say they have taken
pictures of Nessie too.

There have been some expeditions, sonar
studies, submersible investigations... in the
Loch Ness to find Nessie.

Some people say they have filmed Nessie.

However, many people say that there isn't a
monster in Loch Ness.

The people who don't believe that
a monster lives in the loch say...
The pictures and videos are false.

If there is only one monster, the one St.
Columba saw 1400 years ago, would have
died by now.

If there are many monsters:



The loch has not got enough food to feed
a group of large animals.
How do they all keep from being seen
when sonar is used?

After these explanations...
Do you think there is a monster in
Loch Ness or not?
