The first sighting of a sea monster in Loch Ness was reported by Alex Campbell in 1933, followed by a similar report from George Spicer. A few months later, Hugh Gray produced a grainy photo of the beast. Soon myths emerged of its existence dating back to the 7th century. Since then, there have been countless sightings, explorations, photographs, articles and documentaries. Although “Nessie” remains elusive, the legend continues to be a major boom for tourism.
