I was in Edinburgh 3 years ago, lovely place. Forth Rail Bridge, Royal Yacht Britannia at Leith Harbour, the Castle on the Hill, Princes Street.

I have also visited Glasgow, also a very nice place but a bit more "laid back" than Edinburgh as the Capital City of Scotland.

I went to Loch Ness several years ago on one of those rare ventures called
a holiday. What struck me most was that I saw no one actually monitoring the
Loch looking out for Nesse. Nice place Scotland, especially around the West
coast side.

The Kite Fliers

It's the Baltic Sea.

And if rumors have it correctly, there is assumed to be lying a UFO some 90 meters in diameter (or was it at a depth of 90 meters, perhaps) at the bottom of the sea separating the Nordic countries from the rest of Europe.

What is the official "English name" for this part of the Atlantic ocean stretching in between the countries? It ends up at the borders between Sweden and Finland in the north and also the border between Finland and Russia in the east and it is not a small lake.

You can buy those as souvenirs in the Cafe at the end of the loch. All certified quite genuine of course.

What, you don't believe the reports of pins with angels on them down there? Oh yea of little faith.

If anybody does find anything down there, excepting frogs, gimme a nudge. Until then I'll leave it as it is.

Good links Bobby. Seems that I must be mistaken then. Oh well :-)

no you're not mistaken - the naval sonar survey did take place & they detected something - no one said anything about "Nessie" - Neither did Chris or I.

yes, its called hundreds of people looking for something that isn't there

I bet Robert Ballard didn't think that what "something large" showed up on the sonar just before he found the Titanic. So far I can't see any reference to a "Loch Ness Monster" when sonar was mentioned.

Don't forget that naval personnel are not dumbo's & modern sonar is pretty damned efficient.

I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that ...

Oh Gawd, it's turning into one of those threads again ....

Statement

I'm not fussed one way or another whether there is or there isn't anything in Loch Ness. I really don't give an tinkers cuss one way or the other. I happen to think there is, but I couldn't care less if there isn't.

OK?

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

They may or not exist, my thoughts ate the same as with Loch Ness. But I agree that kids being taught that they factually do exist without evidence is wrong.

though teaching the presense of an animal yet to be actually verifiably photographed or found is a bit of hookum. You may as we teach about the yeti and sasquatch as far as that goes

Yes they did, and found something as well, but I can't find a link to it. There is something unexplained in that loch ....

naw, the numbers are not large enough... :)

Send ID down there <g>

Most people do Skil. Sonar is different from radar. There is definitely something there, but we can't seem to find out what is is.

Correct me if I'm wrong Chris, but I seem to recall the navy doing an extensive sonar scan of the lake.
