The Anonymous Widower

Loch Ness Monster

The Loch Ness Monster is one of these stories that refuses to go away.

Now, as the tourist season approaches the National Archive of Scotland have released documents to show that there were worries that Nessie would be hunted and shot in the 1930s.

In 1938, the chief constable of Inverness-shire raised concerns about protecting Nessie from hunters.

In a letter he wrote: “That there is some strange creature in Loch Ness now seems beyond doubt.”

I don’t believe that the monster exists.

Loch Ness has been closed off from the sea for many thousands of years, so if a monster exists it is either that number of years old or they have lived and bred happily in the Loch. 

The first premise is unlikely, so there must be at least two.  But then if there were only that small a number, then they would have so many genetic problems because of in-breeding.  So if they were more, then surely they would have provided more evidence.

It’s a myth designed to get tourists to Scotland.
