The Loch Ness Monster (, Nessie, is a monster that, according to the Scottish urban legend, lives in Loch Ness.
The first written mention of a mysterious creature that lives in the water of Lake Loch Ness dates back to the VI century AD. In the biography of St. Columbus, written a hundred years after the events in the Ness River.
The Celtic legend of the Kelpi water spirit, migrated to medieval folklore, mentioned during the first peak of the monster's observations in 1933-1934, describes the water spirit of the lake as a horse with a long neck and a very small head. Seeing an accidental traveler, Kelpie lured him, exposing his glossy back - as if offering to bring it - and carried the gullible man under water.
The first documented information about observing creatures on the lake dates back to the construction of General Wade’s old military road on the south coast (XVIII century) - then blasting near Foyers frightened off two huge dozing monsters. Throughout the 19th century, messages came that described the gigantic salamanders. On the whole, the “monster” seemed to calm down for a long time, but suddenly in 1880, with complete calm and clear sky on the lake, it turned over and went down to the bottom with people a small sailboat. They immediately remembered the monster, since there were people who saw him.
In 1957, Mrs. Constance White, who had lived on the lake for many years, published her book “This is More Than a Legend,” which collected 117 stories of “eyewitnesses” who allegedly saw Nessie. The book wrote that in all the stories the appearance of the animal was described in approximately the same way: a thick massive body, a long neck, a small head.
