UFOs and the paranormal with Malcolm Robinson: The Loch Ness monster - part 1
It has done wonders for the Scottish tourist industry ad thousands of people come to visit the area from all around the world. I am of course referring to Scotland’s Loch Ness monster.
Doing well from the tourists is all well and good but the fact remains, is the Loch Ness monster really real in so far as whatever is in Loch Ness is as yet unrecognised (to science) as a living creature, or are all the sightings of ‘Nessie’ throughout the centuries all misinterpretations?

Sightings of ‘Nessie’ go well back into antiquity, indeed the first official recorded observation of a strange creature in the loch was made by St Columba way back in 565AD. St Columba was a Christian missionary who was visiting Scotland from Ireland.
Columba’s biographer, St Adamnan wrote that one of Columba’s followers was attacked as he swam across Loch Ness to collect a boat from the other side of the loch. St Columba formed the sign of the cross in the empty air saying, “Think not to go further nor touch thou that man. Quick! Go back!”
Whereupon the creature disappeared back into the murky depths. Since then thousands of reported sightings of strange creatures have been sighted on the loch’s surface.
