Loch Lubnaig Monster
Loch Lubnaig (Lùbnaig
means crooked in Gaelic). is a small freshwater
loch near Callander in the Scottish Highlands. It is part of the Loch Lomond
and The Trossachs National Park.
The loch is quite shallow nearly two-thirds being
under 50 feet (15 m) in depth. The loch may be considered into two halves,
defined at the entrance of the
Ardchillarie burn, where the bottom shallows and separates two principal deep
depressions. The deepest part of the loch at 146
feet (45 m) is centrally located in the depression. There are two other
depressions in which the depth exceeds 100 feet (30 m).So deep enough to
hide a creature. Wild fish
in the loch include Salmon, Perch and
Brown Trout. So a good food supply.
Many locals believe in the loch monster
called Lubhi a smaller distant cousin of Nessie. Eye witnesses claim to have
seen small humps appearing on the surface of Loch Lubnaig. It is not unusual to
see parked cars in lay-bys with tourists pointing cameras convinced they
spotted something on the surface of the loch. The steep mountain slopes add to
the magical feel of the loch.
Loch Lomond in the same national park also
claims to have a monster.
Loch Lomond is second only to Loch
Ness in volume of water. For years there have been reports by residents living
near the loch of a strange creature seen in the water. Some eyewitnesses
describe the creature as being like the Loch Ness monster, a plesiosaur like
creature, others say it looks like a large crocodile. Read rest here:

Could they be the same creature moving overland
between lochs in search of food? Or could they be two distinctly separate creatures
,one crocodile like,one humped? What do you think? Comments welcome but please
