The legend of the Loch Ness Monster has fascinated generations of curious minds. This weekend, 90 years after its first modern supposed sighting, enthusiasts descended again on this picturesque lake in a quiet corner of the Scottish Highlands in the hopes of turning myth into reality.
Organizers billed the past weekend as the largest organized “Nessie” hunt for 50 years. And the hunters came armed with high-tech help: sonars for mapping the lakebed, thermal-imaging drones for scanning the surface and hydrophones to hear strange sounds from the depths.
The events were even opened to the global public — hundreds were invited to a live stream of the water’s surface to add more eyes to the search.
