Hedgecutter Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 As far PR stunts go in the days long before TripAdvisor etc etc, the owner of a (then) irrelevant backwater hotel claiming that she saw a 'beast' outside her establishment (harmless to those who stay on the land) has to be up there with the finest. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-22125981 Whatever happened to Morag (of Loch Morar) btw? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross. Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 Anyone recommend somewhere half decent to kip for a night in the vincinity? I’m back home at the end of next month and the boy wants to go and see if he can see the Loch Ness Monster. We were planning a wee road trip up round that way anyway, now just need to get round to booking things. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what you're looking at here is the very normal-looking survey pattern of a Beechcraft 200 Super King aircraft that is chartered out by RVL Aviation to some company that wants that kind of map data for some reason. There's nothing even remotely suspicious about this image. Edited June 14, 2023 by Aim Here 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottsdad Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 A couple of years ago, on the radio were a couple of people lobbying to have the Loch Ness Monster designated as Scotland's national animal. BBC Scotland had a radio phone in about it, including some bitter Tory woman, probably from Perthshire, saying it was a rotten idea. It would be a mockery of the country to have a fictional story creature as the national animal. The national animal of Scotland is the Unicorn. She wasn't best pleased when this was pointed out. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got this from my Virtual Radar Server 'live' map ... it was a screen dump for a pal who lives in Inverclyde I just thought it would be relevant to the chemtrail post by someone in Glasgow.... Dunno if it is for OS or a continuation of the LIDAR mapping of Scotland which I'm sure has been completed, another plane was working to the N at the same time... PS it was a joke.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shotgun Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 I'm surprised there's still even a debate about this when definitive video proof has been available for several years now. I can see why some of the previous, grainy footage would make people sceptical but I don't know how anyone can deny what this video clearly shows.

At the risk of sounding too optimistic I think they are going to find it and it will be the biggest new story ever in the world. Hundreds join huge search for Loch Ness Monster https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-highlands-islands-66614935 On 10/06/2023 at 19:41, throbber said: Of course there is no actual monster in there and it’s a myth that’s been going for hundreds of years and has become a tourist attraction in more recent times. If you’re going to observe activity on any large body of water like that you’re going to get some unexplainable activity.

Hedgecutter Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 12 minutes ago, doulikefish said: 4 distinctive noises heard in the latest search However... Alan McKenna, from volunteer research group Loch Ness Exploration, was on a boat using a hydrophone system to capture the underwater sounds of the Highlands loch. He said when they were testing the system on Friday, they heard four distinctive "gloops". "We all got a bit excited, ran to go make sure the recorder was on and it wasn't plugged in," he sheepishly admitted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
