I visited Loch Ness back in 1986 as part of my quest to meet Jimmy Page (he owned the Boleskin House, former residence of Aleister Crowley, on the banks of the bonnie loch), & although I failed to meet the legendary guitarist (I was literally chased off the property by a large, bearded man who emerged from the toolshed, shaking his fist & cursing me) I DID really enjoy the experience of exploring the area. Just below the Boleskin House was an old cemetery with elaborate headstones dating all the way back to the 1500s, & I met a colorful character, a weathered old man with a roadmap of wrinkles on his face & calloused hands, throwing back pints of lager at the local pub, who told me stories of the many times he had encountered Nessie, going all the way back to his childhood. Or at least I THINK that's what he was telling me. Between his thick Scottish accent & the fact that he was stumbling drunk, aside from an occasional "Nessie" & "monster," I could barely understand a word he said! The barkeep stood behind the long wooden bar, drying off pint glasses & shaking his head, as if to say, "You'll be sorry you got him going." But I wasn't. I could tell the old guy really enjoyed telling his tall tales to the tourists, that he was energized by the opportunity to recount them once again, to me, so I was happy to oblige. I kind of hate that modern technology has disproved the local folklore. Some things are better left a mystery, for all to enjoy.
I hope you bought him a bag of crisps
I love your account!! You are missing out on a career as a writer, a travel writer, who travels the world talking to locals in bars about local monsters and cryptids! It's never been done, and would be fantastic. Your writing reminded me a bit of Anthony Bourdain, whose books I love! Seriously, give it consideration! I'm never wrong about this kind of thing for some reason!
That cemetary has been the target of "interesting souvenir" hunters of late. Sad times.
best written comment I’ve ever seen
That WAS Jimmy Page.
She does exist in my heart, even if she doesn’t exist in the real world.
That's very fair 🥰
@@minagica That’s very fair 🥰
So true 🥰
@@rubenramirez1195 So True
The world has lots of secrets. Yea.
To be honest, the size of the ripples in the water always made "Nessie" look like a small toy.
The ripples aren’t that big if it’s not swimming or if it comes up out of water
I've always thought the same thing @guitbrad.
That would make sense guitbrad!
Same with me
How many nipples does Nessie have?
I still remember how heartbroken I was when the "Surgeon's Photo" was proven to be a fake. It really sparked my imagination as a kid. Probably why I so cynical at 54.
There's no lizard but there are giant eels.

Hoaxes are real,
BUT- the animals are also real!!
One June in the 80s, i went camping in Scotland with some mates, we spent three days at Loch Ness and we were lucky if we could see our feet never mind aquatic monsters. The rain and fog never let up for a minute and it was bloody cold, with the fog, Nessy could have been sitting next to my tent and I would never have seen her.
😂👌🏴
If she was there tho, I assume she would have been asking for tree fiddy (my assumption is based on the rest of the comment section)
@@mrsoisauce9017 i remember when i visited scotland with my son. when we were out on a hike by the lake he asked me for something. i couldn't hear him so i told him to say again, he then said with the most innocent and pure eyes "i need about tree fiddy"
True Fact: The Loch Ness Monster wears a kilt, eats haggis and plays bagpipes.
But how would it take the risk of being seen when going out of the water to catch the haggis?
Dont forget, its favourite movie is Brave Heart
How do you know my mother in law?
They have a funny name for plaid. And ol Pete can ruin everything!
But plays the bagpipes badly, due to limited dexterity in its flippers.
If I had to guess, that Medieval drawing more likely represents a Wells Catfish. They can get insanely large and could easily drown someone. People here in the U.S. do something called “noodling” for catfish, and sometimes die.
I can't see how anyone noodles catfish. The ones I've caught sometimes have weird spines and the clamp down so hard, I'd be afraid to stick my hand in their mouth! Worse, I'd be afraid of noodling a huge snapping turtle, those things are huge here, and afraid of nothing!
They wear special type of gloves but yes sometimes people drown
I didn’t know what noodling was until I made my way out to Oklahoma. Then again finding watery places to fish in is a difficult thing to do in the Sonoran desert
Is that where you stick your arm in their mouth?!
@@rhodwilliams7258
Yes. You use you fist or fingers to feel around in the murky, muddy waters near banks and undercuts to get the fish to grab you. Catfish are good eating but they are real scavengers. There is a lake here in Texas, called Canyon Lake, that was formed when a town was literally flooded to create it, and scuba training classes used to train there, because it had buildings and abandoned automobiles down at the bottom. I had some friends who swear there were catfish the size of couches under there. I had heard it before, and apparently, it's true. My friend actually got scared out of diving because they were so huge and would just try to eat anything...
I actually saw the Loch Ness monster once. Pleasantly surprised I asked "Why nessie, why show yourself to me?" And you know what he said?
"I need about tree fiddy"
😂😂😂😂😂
Its went up noo, its four fiddy five
Wait update that, he want about tree fiddy in shib coin
About the price of two 20 oz Pepsis at Speedway. Really makes you think
@@BarryHWhite damn inflation!
I’m from Scotland and can confirm he does exist. He once asked me for $3.50
Your comments about the Hippo's foot ashtray reminded me that about seventy years ago (and yes, I do go back that far - and further!), my uncle had an elephants foot umbrella stand in his hallway. He liked it, I thought it was awful.
Conservation wasn't a big thing in those days.
It wasn't totally unheard of. Jules Verne wrote about Capt. Nemo's disgust with whalers. The thing is, people still talk about conservation, and some effors are made, but by-in-large the carnage continues.
When I was a kid I printed out pages about Nessy , I believed so so hard. I still do 😩
Still doesnt explain that giant creature that car driver saw though, so theres still hope👍
@@nicolaik2832 Well, if he's the only one who ever saw it, it's much more likely to be explained by whisky than monsters...
@@mbrackeva Perhaps, or maybe one of those good ol mushrooms.
Hey there Delilah, how's it like in new York city?
Believe it! And if you ever get a chance to go to Scotland then visit Loch Ness. I saw the animal at school camp in the late 1980s, and so did the teacher and the other 4 kids in the minibus with us. I don’t care what others call me or say to me, because I’d be just as skeptical as they are if I hadn’t been there that day.
I live in Inverness, the city near Loch Ness. No long a go they were testing the waters in the loch, to see what DNA readings for life in it. They found really high levels of eel DNA. Due to the size and depths of the Loch, I wouldn't be surprised if it's a giant eel.
A giant eel that walks on land and eats sheep?
wow youve just stated exactly what the experts already said. thanks for the expert opinion
@@bobknobbe3561 I actually made that comment in the first minute of watching this upload. I have lived near loch Ness all my life and spent many hours on, in and diving the water. Yes I am quite the expert.
@@b00ts4ndc4tshave you seen big eels?

I'm not great with numbers, but that's at least 17 feet. I think.
@@jessesisson2955 what is that? I mean i dont blame u on how u said ur not great with numbers, but its actually wayyy more. Its actually 848.75 feet.
guys, you're all dumb
it has to be about 3 feet before we get anywhere
@@Name-mk8dp how are we supposed to get all these feet to do an actual measurement!?
What I love about science is it could be easily explained but also holds a possibility of being an over grown eel or a still living plesiosaur! We see it all the time and never fail to be surprised by the least possible thing being possible! 🤷🏼♂️
It's most likely a big sturgeon. They do pass through sometimes. I mean the Greenland shark might make it into the loch as there is apparently cave systems that go right out to the ocean.
My husband and I were watching a fishing show a looooooong time ago, and the host reeled in a sturgeon. You could tell he had a huge fish, but the size of the thing, for a freshwater fish, was amazing.
A cave system? No need for that, the river is connected with the sea in Inverness.
But it is clearly some kind of fish, there just isn't enough food in the lake for even a single huge monster.
It is a beautiful area to hike around the lake, I do recommend that but don't expect to see any monsters (I certainly didn't at least).
@Eddie Hitler well, there are several other fish that could be pretty large as well. It is probably a mix of sturgeons, wels catfish and eels.
Heck, eels can get very old and very large with time and they could look like the neck and head of Nessie rather well.
Whiskey probably helped as well.
Some big Sturgeons get jobs as Scottish First Ministers🤪

@@boosted_spirit I was just about to write the same thing
@@boosted_spirit omg i didn't know! that's so cool!!!
I find it insane that for 3-4 years Thoughty has consistently found more and more crazy interesting fun videos
Fun fact, there's a lake monster in Lake Champlain in New York, named Champ. Who happens to sound a whole lot like Nessie. But reports of it go back to the ancient natives. It's interesting, that the descriptions of these 2 are so similar despite being from 2 entirely different cultures
There are actually dozens of lake monster stories all over the world. I think it has to do with the human imagination. You see something in the water out of the corner of your eye, you only catch a quick glimpse of some movement, some splashing, then it’s gone. You have no idea what it was and you only have one or two mental images that are already blurring in your brain. You assume it’s something mysterious and unnatural so your mind begins to distort your memory to the point where you honestly believe you saw a monster.
I’ve had the same experience with a UFO. I saw a large metallic shape one early morning outside my window, got only a half second glimpse of it, and to this day I can only picture it as a flying saucer, even though I don’t really remember exactly what I saw. It’s like there’s a hole in my memory and so my brain just inserts the image of a 1950’s cheesy Hollywood UFO to make up for it.
I lived in Glasgow for a while back when I was in my 14s, it helped me learn English a lot. It was the best times of my life, beautiful lands, beautiful people, interesting history and lore... Scotland is a sight to see and moments to enjoy ❤️
"Nessie" is so much more than a monster. Its a mystery. Something that creates stories and wonder, exciting people everywhere. That Mystery is whats real in this. Nessy itself doesnt need to be real. Only the mystery.
Not to mention that the pliesiosaur would've had to survive the the massive ice cap that covered Scotland in the ice ages. Actually, Loch Ness is along an ancient fault that was gauged out by glaciers and was created as they melted. Most lakes aren't very old on a geological timescale. I really wish we could see some of the amazing marine reptiles that lived before the KPG mass extinction, but I don't think the beach would be fun. Giant eels sound super scary too!
The Loch Ness monster is real! I saw him, he was swimming around, he came up to me, I was terrified, and I screamed " Please don't hurt me!! "
He stopped and said, " I need about tree fiddy "
I said " Goddamnit Loch Ness Monster I aint giving you no goddamn tree fiddy, get your own money! "
❤😂😅🤣😅😂
Was hoping to see this comment... I'm not dissapointed
The end sounded exactly like when they uncover the identity of a monster on the Scooby-Doo cartoons.
If it wasn't for those meddling scientist...
“It’s Old Man Withers!”
“And I would’ve gotten away with it too if wasn’t for you meddling kids!”
Side Note: There is NO mystery as to what goes on inside the “Mystery Machine”, ever noticed the billowing smoke??
No doubt, Nessie is masterminding a land-development scheme and wants to scare off the locals.
So basically.

Long Answer: Also no.

Swim! Isn’t it very cold?
I love watching your videos. And I was SUPER happy to find you did Scotland's Loch Ness monster! This helped me to ready myself for another long work week in retail. Thank you, Thoughty2, for discussing this topic!
I feel like he did this one before
I've worked in retail, you definitely need something to 'ready' yourself. It's tough
I thought the statistic about Loch Ness having more cubic kilometres of water in it than every lake in England and Wales was mind blowing. Particularly when you take into account the Lake District with Lakes like Windermere and Coniston etc which Campbell used as it was so vast. Obviously they're very long but not particularly deep. This is why I love this channel, even if you know the subject being discussed there's always a few nuggets sprinkled in due to proper research. Keep them coming mate😊.
To be honest, what you said about the depth of the loch was impressive enough. You didn't need to embellish it's size by a factor of a million! It's 7.5 cubic kilometers... Not 7.5 million cubic kilometers. Oh well.
That didn't sound right to me either. I had to look it up. I mean damn it's like 100km to space 7.5 million cubic km?! That's a lot a water!
We have our own lake monster where I live, called Ogopogo. The lake is 135 km long, 4-5 km wide, and up to 232m deep. A wee bit bigger than Loch Ness. With an area of 348 square km, that works out to about 80 cubic kilometers. My grandfather said he saw a sturgeon in it when he was a boy. I've lived here a LONG time but I've never seen the Beastie said to live in it.
Before even watching I'm going to say yes, and Mermaids use them to underwater joust for sport.
This comment is literally ahead of its time.
XD. Favorite comment
Yes, this is just pure, unadulterated science.
Busted! How'd you figure it out? We have a lot of fun playing games with our "monsters." =^.^=
I'm gonna pretend our Nessie is real. Also, haggis is delicious - although it does sound disgusting.
Haggis is amazing, although it is very rich. I can't eat a lot of it.
@@superspecky4eyes I agree. Sometimes too spicy for me too. Haha.
Haggis, done right, is gorgeous. I’m from Edinburgh, born and bred

I was in the US Air Force in England circa 1981. The BBC used to broadcast the news at 9pm. They would always run a teaser just before 9 at the end of whatever program that was on before that. We lived in a dorm on base and there'd always be TV's on while we did whatever we were doing. One night, there were 4 or 5 people in my room and the TV was on. It was also on in our dayroom, which was a communal relaxing room on the floor. ANYWAY,,,,,the teaser for the news came on. It totally blew us away. There in front of us on the TV was footage,,,,not video,,but film,,,taken from inside an RAF helicopter over a shallow area of Loch Ness. The guys in the copter were yelling and the camera was pointing below them. You could see the wash from the propeller on the water and in the middle of it was a creature. It looked like a small dinosaur,,,it had four flippers, a long neck and a somewhat short tail. It was thrashing about in a panic under the helicopter. The footage was real. They didn't have CGI back then, the inside of the copter was real,,,the men were yelling, the noise was loud,,,and the scene on the water was real. The announcer was saying something to the effect that the RAF had found Nessie and details would follow at 9. Of course we all freaked out. We watched at 9 and absolutely nothing was said. We were completely perplexed. Many people saw the clip,,,I know of at least two of my superiors who contacted the BBC and the RAF and no one seemed to know anything. We'd all seen it. I met locals who saw it as well. There was no internet then,,,no phones to text with,,,,so word couldn't get around like we can do today. I talked to people about it for weeks and many people saw it. The story faded away and one can only wonder what the hell happened. Over the years I have talked to people who remember it. But for me,,,,the creature,,whatever it is, exists.
Yea no this is fake, otherwise the internet would be all over it by now.
That's legitimately fascinating! I've always fully believed nessie could be real, but I'm more interested in life outside our planet, so I just let the creature live his life. Awesome story though!
Did you aye
I do want 2 mention that, if I remember correctly, we’ve only explored abt 5% of the ocean. This means that there’s still a possibility that the Loch Ness Monster exists. Furthermore, scientists recently discovered over a million possible carbon-based alternatives 2 DNA. If the Loch Ness Monster truly does exist, it would have to meet 3 conditions:
1. It would have 2 have a truly extraordinary camouflaging ability akin 2 that of chameleons (explains why it hasn’t been officially spotted yet)
2. It would have 2 b based on one of those other nucleic acids (explains why it’s never been spotted in DNA tests)
3. Its physical characteristics would have 2 allow it 2 survive in extremely cold environments while still being cold blooded (explains why it was never spotted by thermal cameras); maybe it could b using carbon-silicon compounds that make it less susceptible 2 cold environments (silicon can withstand a wider range of temperatures than carbon can)
@@mrsoisauce9017 that’s not true,
1. The ocean is almost fully mapped, but only 7% has been physically touched by humans
2.It wouldn’t have evolved camouflage, it’s based on a plesiosaur which was a marine reptile not a cephalopod.
3.fairly certain plesiosaurs lived in tropical enviroments
Yea I doubt it exists
Please do a video on Count Saint Germain, someone whose been accused of being a "vampire" and is actually spread throughout alot of history
As a Scot, it's just a wee bit of fun. Many use it as a tourist trap, though. Same with 'haggis hunting' - suggesting haggis are real animals.
Coming back from school camp in the 1980s, myself and 5 others (teacher included) saw Nessie. I have no idea what it is, but it’s a huge living animal. I don’t believe in Bigfoot or fairies or whatever, but I do know a very large animal species lives in Loch Ness. I often wondered what (if anything) the teacher said,
Could it have been a giant eel?
The reveal at the end feels like a scooby-doo episode where they reveal how a monster is not actually a monster
Actually the kelpies are quite interesting as it says the rider becomes conjoined with the horse unable to dismount. Puts a whole new spin on the four horsemen of the apocalypse.

Honestly if I had the choice of making one cryptic in the world real, it would without a doubt be Nessie. I still stan.
I’ve been loving your vids and just stumbled across this one and I’ve always loved nessie and this is great to finally get a good video on it,watching from Scotland!
It's not recommend to assume drawings are factual representations. In the year 5000, will historians think we were visited in 1992 by large-eyed, hot alien-human hybrids because they found some Sailor Moon fan art?
Maybe next should be the wild Scottish hairy haggis. Running through glens and hill covered heather.

Had my Lockness Monster magazine out when I watched this video. The story amazes me from childhood, but I always thought the night be more in order for it to survive for so long. Still, it would be pretty cool if it did exist. One can only hope.
I love your videos. I think they're fantastic and educational. I'm not a fan of how shortened they've become. Regardless, I noticed in the video (and have really seen it in the comments) that the drawn picture that you displayed in the video, shows Nessy's eye at the short end. But, the Pict, shows it at the opposite end. With the elongated neck. I only mention this, because I am so curious about "The Loch Ness Monster" and have been since childhood. When I first saw it in a National Geographic Book (in my school's library). Yes, I'm showing my age here. But, that fascination is also why I've subscribed to this channel. I don't know. I mean no disrespect to you or what you're doing. But, one of the main reasons why I always look for your newest videos is your interesting topics and your attention to detail. And truthfully, I hope these past couple of videos, that were shorter than most. Are only because of the topic and not becoming a sign of things to come. Just a fan. No disrespect. 💯 love what you do. Please keep it up. Look forward to new videos from you.
Nah there must be a passage somewhere, out to sea so Nessie comes and goes besides Loch Ness isn't the Bahamas with crystal clear water, as you said and I'd like to think there's a colony of these critters somewhere.
I was on Loch Ness two weeks ago with my friend we were 2 of 4 people on the top of the boat. It was raining a little and almost everyone was inside. we had been taking loads of photo . As we stood at the front of the boat taken selfies we noticed a large wake came towards us .We know that a wake can be from a small boat and Cross the Loch and they are mistaken for Nessy .But this one came with a long dark shadow .It came from the right went under the boat and along the other side of the lake .We stood there with our months open look at each other and laughed
We were so happy that we had our own Nessy experience .Suddenly we look at each other and realised neither of us thought to film it ,or take any photos but we didn't care . Its our story to tell if people choose not to believe its their loss . We were there and we did see it .She's real and fucking huge 🦕🥰
I want to believe that, I don't but I'd like to
@@minagica It is absolutely 💯 %true and 3 other people saw it . But I don't need Absolution , whats the point in lieing . It will always be mine I was there and no one can ever take that away . Weather they believe me or not x

@@angellarussell196 I believe that too because although it was big it was headed towards the River Ness.

Great content as always!
Ever realised Nessy might just be an extremely overgrown giant eel.
If there's anything in there at all, that's the most likely candidate.
I love the idea of creatures like Nessie & Bigfoot being real. So until someone can conclusively & without a doubt prove that they DON'T exist, I'm going to continue to enjoy believing that they do.
Great video, Arron! :):)
I so want Nessie to be real but I’m ready for you to put me and my inner child in our place.
I love this narrator, can listen to him all day
Learned some new details today. Thank you. 😎
love your videos but 7,5 million cubic kilometers of water volume has to be wrong cause its nearly 200km x 200km x200km size cube and loch ness has around 30 km length and 2km width. Still loves your videos though :D
7.5 mio cubic meters instead of kilometers, more likely. Anyway, I love your videos. Kudos from the other side of the polar circle.
Yeah I fact checked this and it's a typo... he ment 7.5 cu kilometers
There IS 'something' in the Loch. A similar loch is found in Africa with the same strange phenomona. This phenomona is a temperature inversion, a cold deep body of water with a warm body of water on top of it. You can get underwater waves effecting the surface. I always felt there had to be 'something' to the credible reports of disturbances in the loch, and this apparantly is it.
There might be something in the Big lake in Sweden too... according to some people.... Its also a very deep lake.
Mokele Mbembe?
Well put. Thank you.
More of a Nessie believer now than prior to watching this video. Had no idea the first reported/ recorded sighting was on land.
Recently while deer hunting in Texas, I happened to run across Nessie and Bigfoot at a liquor store, It was a little odd, but, we hung out drinking American beer and telling stories, when their friend, I didn't get his/her name, showed up with some really good weed,
Next thing I remember is sitting here writing this and looking at pictures from that night.
My head is still messed up but at least I have pictures

There should be a comic strip with that if it doesn't already exist 👍

The Pictish beast is most likely meant to be a dolphin. They are found in the Moray Firth in summer.
For plesiosaurs to survive in Loch Ness, they would have had to survive several glacial periods which descended upon Scotland. That's simply not happening.
In the 1970s people got very excited about an infamous plesiosaur flipper photograph taken in Loch Ness, and there was even a huge copy of it in the evolution display in the then Royal Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh. What was not publicised was that photo had been heavily retouched. The original photo merely shows an indescribable shape in the murky waters of the loch.
Loch Ness is indeed peat bedded, and it is lined with pine, spruce and birch trees. What happens is that when trees on the banks of the loch die, they fall into the loch and sink. On the peat bottom they lie and rot, causing the trunks to slowly fill with gas. Eventually, a trunk will fill with so much gas that it rises to the surface, the gas is expelled into the air, and the trunk sinks once more. Voila! There's your monster sighting.
If there was a monster, isn't it just a wee bit strange that Aleister Crowley, infamously into all things occult and weird, and who lived in Boleskine House, on the eastern shore of Loch Ness, never once reported a sighting, or indeed ever made any reference to it?
Oh, and yes, Loch Ness is indeed cold. BLOODY cold. I once jumped in it, and I jumped out twice as quick. I thought my heart was going to stop.
But please, keep believing in Nessie. Scotland's an awfy puir wee country, and we need your tourist money.
It's kinda weird though how the loch ness monster was "invented" before plesiosaurus (a group of long ago aquatic long neck creatures) could be accurately reconstructed/drawn/etc and that the loch ness looks just like some of them.
I can never get tired of, Hey guys, thoughty2 here
If it is real, I ain't givin' dat damn monstah no tree-fitty!
Another great story, love this channel.
I visited Loch Ness a few years ago while on a motorcycle tour. I cared nothing about seeing a monster, I just wanted to visit a beautiful lake which is what Loch Ness is. Very worth visiting, Nessy or not.
There are some odd glitches in the video. Just letting you know Thoughty2.
Another great video. I almost died today, had a seizure chocked on my puke and tongue. Just getting home from the hospital. Your videos are always such high quality. Much respect from Winnipeg Manitoba Canada
Hope you're doing well, mate!
Feel well bro
I am Scottish and have visited Loch Ness several times. The sightings are directly in proportion to the number o’ 🥃
So, why isn't the Glasgow Monster more famous? 😉🥃🍺
Dear boy, you are delightfully demented and we would not miss an episode. Brilliant!
I feel the same way about nessie I do about bigfoot. They can and probably do exist, and one day purely by accident we will find out. Long ago there was a mythical bear like creature that lived in the deep jungles of china, ate only bamboo and was impossible to find. Now we just go to the zoo to see a panda.
There's a much, much...much more convincing argument for Bigfoot than there will ever be for the Loch Ness monster.
There's no comparison.
😂 I'd like that 🙂
@@ianmacfarlane1241 probably, but I've never seen either firsthand so I put them in the same box. 😁
The Patterson film, unlike the surgeon nessie photo, has never been proven a hoax.
Giant panda?
I’ve actually been to Loch Ness during the Halloween term; unfortunately the monster is a myth but the adventure was cool
Bro im learning history from this guy 10x more then school while he has some slight humour in his videos and they are bloody interesting get this man an award 0-0
Fie, sir! Nessie is a very clever lass to defy all detection! 😁
7.5 million cubic kilometers sounds like a bit much, yeah? 1.8 cubic miles more like it. Wicked video though, bottoms up!
Cubic meters, perhaps?
Yeah Nessy and Megalodon are down there with the Mermaids that also apparently exist. 🤷♂️🤦♂️😆
Waking up to watch 'thought2' weekend morning is like watching cartoons iinn the weekend mornig
There wouldn't really be a reason to visit loch ness without the story of the monster lol
As a Scot 10 generations of my family have believed in Nessie including me! Kelpies, Nessie, blueies are just facts with us lol! I don’t get why people wanna disprove her? Just let her live her life
I'm with you laddy, nessie has been alive in folklore for generations, and no matter how much they try and disprove her existence, she will always exist.. that's nessie for ya.
Bagpipes, haggis and kilts. But what about Scotch? You just can't consider Scotland without the nectar of the Gods, Scotch Whiskey! The finest drink ever made!
Pretty sure they mostly drink White Lightening from the Spar up road
Hmm hmm Scotch Whisky has no E in it. Irish and American Whiskey does. 😀
And the likely source of half the Nessie reports... :)
Very good video. Loch Ness is still an awesome body of water, with or without Nessie.
I had gone to Loch Ness a few years ago and damn it was a good experience. I was even scared in the night. I also visited the Urquhart Castle and it was good too. It was a long journey though. From Delhi to London Heathrow, them from there to Edinburgh by Airplane. Then finally by car to Loch Ness,
"A time before photoshop or photo editing..." You would be very surprised by how far back video and photo manipulation goes
Didn't he make a vid about fairies recently in which he talks exactly about that? I might be confused, though
@@minagica That was a pretty famous case. Look up Arthur Conan Doyle, I'm pretty sure he "investigated" it (if unquestioning acceptance counts as investigation).
The pictures weren't even convincing to me, but we have much higher standards for photographic trickery than they did.
@@stevenscott2136 yes I know, and I believe Thoughty2 already made a video about it
I hate to be a party pooper, but that photo has been around forever. They have run too many sonic/radar studies in Loch Ness to be counted.
That's a freaking forearm and hand.
It's not a forearm and hand, it's a toy. The photographer admitted to it being a toy and you can tell by the ripples being so large compared to the toy.
Yes he said the photo was ancient
Wow Well explained detailed information 😎👌 i haven't heard these information in any Media news
I was literally searching this up on google the day you uploaded it. Stuff like this makes me think I’m the main character.
With that profile name? I doubt it
@@ziggypop8106 I mean I made it when the pandemic started and didn’t bother to change it. Meanwhile yours is Ziggy Pop.
Yeah, I'd bother to change it. Not witty or clever, certainly not original :/
@@ziggypop8106 Honestly I have better things to worry about than what my name is on RUclips. I don’t understand why you care more than I do about what my username is.
When one considers how fast species are disappearing both plant and animal and insect and arachnids, that haven't even been identified before. I believe in Nessie, I can only imagine what is in the depths of deep waters. And the fact that we can't survive in the water without actual help, Sure. Nessie, and BigFoot, can be real!
Jesus wept, calm down, ffs....you obviously get far too excited over nothing. Seriously, why would you delude yourself into believing any old claim when it's totally illogical and irrational to do so unless there's hard, indisputable evidence that actively supports it?
As you correctly said yourself, Nessie "can be real". However, "CAN BE REAL" doesn't exactly equate to "IS REAL", does it? By the way, the far side of the moon is made of lemon meringue, and, as I claim that to be true (even without proof), then I fully expect you to believe it. And you probably would.
It's just a dinosaur the Queen had when she was younger.
The Loch Ness monster is the ghost of the last plesiosaur on earth.
A hippo foot ashtray, 'not the kind of thing that would fly off the shelves today' lol I think they'd do quite well in store like B & M 😂
Oh, you can believe me that it does exist - I think it has been photographed many times, though it has also been hoaxed. I think the Tim Dinsdale film shows MUCH, and should be studied more.
3.28 You just about managed to say "loch" instead of "lock" Yayyy! Go on, have a go. Get that saliva gargling at the back of your throat and give it a big ol' phlegm-spitting LOCH! Once you've mastered that, you're only a few more throatclearings away from properly pronouncing "Van Gogh" so don't overdo it :D
Plot twist: the old man that exposed the toy actually helped nessie escape to the sea
I’d love to see a collaboration with Thoughty2 and Mrballen!
10:40 Never heard an Englishman display such incredible command of the Scottish accent.
He's called Arran for a reason! 😅🏴👌
national animal is a unicorn, never forget the fact that we're a country of bronies
