The Quest

Help us continue our mission and join The Quest.

For more than 40 years, The Loch Ness Centre has been home to The Loch Ness Project, a creditable commitment and mission by Adrian Shine to scientifically investigate Loch Ness and its famous monster mythology.

Today, we continue to work closely with Adrian and a new generation of ‘Nessie Hunters’ to make sure the search for Scotland’s most famous resident lives on.

Working closely with our friends and local experts such as Alan McKenna from Loch Ness Exploration (LNE) and independent ‘Nessie Hunter’ Steve Feltham.

We invite everyone to sign up for our quarterly newsletter, in partnership with Alan McKenna from LNE. They’ll help you stay informed with the latest sightings, ground-breaking research, and upcoming events, where you can be part of our ongoing quest for answers.
