565 a.d.
One of my ancestors was out for a swim one day and bumped into St. Columba who was crossing the loch with his followers.This is the first recorded sighting of our species.
April, 1933
I was spotted by Mr & Mrs John Mackay who were motoring along the loch-side road and saw me basking in the sun in the middle of the loch.

A local chap was walking near Foyers and saw me when I was washing my back.He snapped this photograph for my album.
1934
A motor-cyclist called W. Arthur Grant,who was returning from Inverness, saw me having a stroll along the loch side. I scurried down the bank and disappeared leaving him wondering if it was me or not, and it was.

I was seen having my daily swim on the loch by R.K.Wilson who took this photograph of me which I must say is not very becoming, but is the most famous photograph to date.
The Surgeon's Picture..

I was having a dip at the Fort Augustus end of the loch when I was observed by Brother Richard Horan. He saw me when I was 30 yards out and admired my graceful neck and broad front white stripe.

Mr Peter A. Macnab took this photo of me sunbathing in Urquhart Bay.
1960
Noted Loch Ness author Tim Dinsdale filmed me with his 16 mm cine camera. Sceptics suggested that I looked like a small motor boat but they were proved wrong I'm glad to say.
1976
This year some fools were throwing bacon around my home from a hot air balloon but I didn't appear for them as I don't like bacon.
1982
A big search was made this year for me.This loch was covered from side to side with a line of boats using a thing called sonar but I managed to evade them.
I loved meeting these people and I would love to meet you! I also would love to meet Nahuelito, Patagonian Lake Monster, Champ, the Lake Champlain Monster, Sweden's Lake Storsjön Monster, Ogopogo of Canada's Lake Okanagan. I am hardly alone in my ability to attract attention as there are dozens of other lakes in which monsters have been sighted. While not as well known as I am, monsters such as the New Brunswick Lake Utopia Monster, Manipogo of Lake Manitoba in Canada, the Lake Erie monster (the object of numerous recent sightings), and the Flathead Lake Monster in Montana have all attained a measure of regional fame, some of them long before I came to the world's attention
