Loch Alsh Monster
Loch Alsh is a sea loch in the Northwest Highlands
of Scotland. The hilly country
around Loch Alsh has rocks from Precambrian Gneiss, some of
the oldest in the world, although very eroded.
In 1893 Dr Farquar
was boating on Loch Alsh with his wife and son.They saw something odd .A tall
neck like thing was standing out of the water about 200 yards (197 metres
approx)away.It appeared to be a gigantic lizard.The skin was brown and shining
and it had a sort of ruff where the neck joined the body.Ripples around it
seemed to show a huge body under the water. It sank below the waves leaving them
concerned and confused.There doesn’t seem to have been other sightings and it
would have been dismissed but this loch joins with Loch Duich.
Loch Ness fans will
have heard of the Mc Rae film.It is said to show a close up of Nessie and is supposedly
held in a secret bank vault somewhere. Few people have seen it. There was also a
second Mc Rae film shot at Loch Duich .The creature there is seen in the film
moving its head and has a longer neck and a ruff or tufted hair on its neck. However
once again few have seen it as it remains with the Loch Ness film in a secret
place guarded by a trust.
Could this be a
similar creature to the one seen by the Farquar family? It sounds very alike .Until
the film is released ,indeed if it even exists , we will never know.
