Who discovered the Loch Ness Monster?

Answer 1

The first reported sighting of Nessie was by Saint Columba in 565. Sightings have been reported more frequently since the late 19th century. The first photograph of the alleged creature was taken in 1934. The most recent sighting was a video captured in May 2007, which appears to show a large creature moving across the loch just under the surface of the water.

Answer 2

The word 'Loch' means Lake in the Gallic language. So Loch Ness is all you need to say, not 'Loch Ness Lake'. There is no record of who discovered Loch Ness. The early humans who inhabited what would become Scotland would have known about Loch Ness since the end of the last Ice Age when it was formed.

Answer 3

Sorry to say but no one has yet discovered the monster but first big story that sparked peoples imagenations was the story of Saint Columba (6th century) the story goes:

The earliest report of a monster associated with the vicinity of Loch Ness appears in the Life of St. Columba by Adomnán, written in the 7th century.[16] According to Adomnán, writing about a century after the events he described, the Irish monk Saint Columba was staying in the land of the Picts with his companions when he came across the locals burying a man by the River Ness. They explained that the man had been swimming the river when he was attacked by a "water beast" that had mauled him and dragged him under. They tried to rescue him in a boat, but were able only to drag up his corpse. Hearing this, Columba stunned the Picts by sending his follower Luigne moccu Min to swim across the river. The beast came after him, but Columba made the sign of the cross and commanded: "Go no further. Do not touch the man. Go back at once."[17] The beast immediately halted as if it had been "pulled back with ropes" and fled in terror, and both Columba's men and the pagan Picts praised God for the miracle.[17]

Believers in the Loch Ness Monster often point to this story, which notably takes place on the River Ness rather than the loch itself, as evidence for the creature's existence as early as the 6th century.[18] However, sceptics question the narrative's reliability, noting that water-beast stories were extremely common in medieval saints' Lives; as such, Adomnán's tale is likely a recycling of a common motif attached to a local landmark.[19] According to the sceptics, Adomnán's story may be independent of the modern Loch Ness Monster legend entirely, only becoming attached to it in retrospect by believers seeking to bolster their claims.[18] Additionally, in an article for Cryptozoology, A. C. Thomas notes that even if there were some truth to the story, it could be explained rationally as an encounter with a walrus or similar creature that had swum up the river.[18] R. Binns acknowledges that this account is the most serious of various alleged early sighting of the monster, but argues that all other claims of monster sightings prior to 1933 are highly dubious and do not prove that there was a tradition of the monster before this date.[7]
