Loch Ness Monster statue at The Loch Ness Centre

NEW Loch Ness Monster statue towering over two metres tall

2nd Jul 2025

2 July 2025: Today unveiled our brand new, two-metre-tall Loch Ness Monster statue at the heart of our experience.

The stunning sculpture has been hand-crafted by Inverfab, a family-run metalworks business based in Inverness. Serving as both a symbolic feature and an interactive installation, the sculpture is crafted from steel and spans several metres in length. Its dramatic curves, from towering humps to a high-reaching neck and head, reach an impressive 2.4 metres at her peak.

We’ll be inviting everyone to share their theories about what the monster might be by tying a ribbon that reflects their viewpoint: yellow for firm believers, blue for the open-minded, and orange for sceptics. Over time, these ribbons will weave together into a vibrant tapestry, a living display of the diverse theories and imaginations that surround the monster. Since we reopened in 2023, you’ve been offered a wide range of ideas about the Loch Ness Monster, from prehistoric plesiosaurs (27%) and natural wind patterns across the loch (12%) to more imaginative explanations, including the theory that Nessie might even be an alien (7%).
