90th anniversary since the first organised search for Nessie
This year marks the 90th anniversary since the first organised search for Nessie, when Sir Edward Mountain took a team of twenty and became the ‘Watchers of the Monster’. Since then, there have been over 1,1156 sightings of the beast on the Official Loch Ness Monster Sightings Register. As part of this year’s quest, The Loch Ness Centre and Loch Ness Exploration are looking for volunteers to become modern day ‘Watchers of the Monster’ and take part in a giant surface watch of the Loch, keeping an eye out for breaks in the water. You’ll be briefed by Alan Mckenna on what to look out for and how to record findings.
