- What is believed to be the largest search for Nessie in decades has begun in Scotland.
- Dozens of volunteers from all over the world posted themselves at 17 observation posts around the famous lake in the Highlands in partly torrential rain.
During the day, boats should cruise over Loch Ness using special technology such as a hydrophone – a type of underwater microphone. The use of drones with thermal imaging cameras was also planned.

Nessie’s most famous “mug photo” was taken in 1934.

According to human judgement, however, it should not be a dinosaur or another primeval figure. Assumptions range from seals to very large catfish to porpoises.
Project manager Alan McKenna emphasized in Drumnadrochit: “Finding the monster would be nice. But it’s about understanding the lake.” The group is planning to set up an audio library in which all the tones and noises from the lake are recorded. That will take years, stressed McKenna.
