old ''Lochie''
The legend of the Loch Ness monster goes back to the Middle Ages.
There was a tale that the Loch had a mysterious creature called a "water horse" or a "kelpie", that would supposedly lure travellers to their death.
The very first recorded "sighting" was in the year AD 565, TODAY.
St. Columba chanced upon the funeral of a man who had swum in the loch - and had been bitten to death by this Loch Ness monster.
Another report says that St. Columba boldly told the "fearsome beastie" to behave itself.
His incantations appeared to work, as there have been no more reports of the monster attacking people.
Actually, i have no idea why i posted this.
