In folklore, the Loch Ness Monster is said to live in which country?

In Scottish folklore, the Loch Ness Monster or Nessie is a creature said to inhabit Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands. It is often described as large in size with a long neck and one or more humps protruding from the water. Popular interest and belief in the creature have varied since it was brought to worldwide attention in 1933. Evidence of its existence is anecdotal, with a few disputed photographs and sonar readings.

The scientific community regards the Loch Ness Monster as a phenomenon without biological basis, explaining sightings as hoaxes, wishful thinking, and the misidentification of mundane objects.

I really do wish that there was something in the Loch and Vince Savage may well be right

Darlene Davidson, Scotland is a country, not a language. Loch means lake in Scottish.

Have been there and have gone out on boat to look for Nessie. No luck.

The other part the loch is so deep it could have caverns allowing entries of other creatures. Doesn't mean it has to stay in the loch? Hopefully without killing it we will find out one day.

This is common knowledge, I would think, but it would be great for science though if there was a creature that the myth describes - something that had survived the past several millions of years.

One afternoon spent in vain watching for her. I'm not totally convinced either way, but it was a beautiful day all the same.

Char, best answer to the mystery that l've heard so far.

Vince Savage, we should re-dub it 'Eelie'

Well known legend yet unproven phenomenom. I would like to believe in Nessie, but no one has yet provided undeniable proof of "her" exisistence. Yay me.

Still not sure what it is the people that see it seem to think it's no eel or Fish..I knew the first time I saw that pic it did not look Right. Sad that people have to pull hoaxes to fool people? They think its smart and I think its not very nice at all just confuses things.
