History
Modern interest in the Loch Ness Monster largely dates back to May 2, 1933, when the Inverness Courier published an account from local residents John and Aldie Mackay. They reported seeing a large disturbance in the waters of Loch Ness, a deep freshwater lake in the Scottish Highlands. The lakes dark waters and frequent mist have helped sustain stories of a hidden creature for decades.
