Inverness in the Scottish Highlands is a small and pretty city but shocking statistics were released a little while ago suggesting that 53% of all retail spending in it goes into the coffers of the three Tesco supermarkets. One of them is a huge hypermarket in the out-of-town development on the Aberdeen road.

Now Tesco wants to build a fourth superstore but many local people think this is too much. The High Street is already suffering as little shops go to the wall and an online petition has been set up to try to stop the development.

Thanks!

They were enchanted but what’s it all about? Watch this space?

News has emerged that Nessie the Loch Ness Monster is living in fear of a bearded Taleban-style regime that seems sworn to make people give up their own beliefs that she exists and is alive and well in Scotland.

“It really isn’t fair”, said Nessie. “I have been living in Loch Ness since the last ice age and yet some much fresher upstarts think they can just grow a beard, put on a serious face and a mock-posh accent and tell my followers that I am not real.

“Personally I think they are a bunch of formally unqualified, bearded fundamentalist Taleban look-alikes who are hell-bent on imposing their own quasi-religious, pseudo-scientific anti-Nessie claptrap on my followers. So I’m asking all my friends out there to rebel against them and to boycott them and make sure the world knows that I do exist. Just ask all the people who have seen me with their own eyes!”

Newly released papers under the Freedom of Information Act show that she is officially believed to exist and a lot of government time and money has been invested in her protection:

This was reported in The Sunday Times.

A fascinating story about plesiosaurs like Nessie the Loch Ness monster in Scotland’s leading newspaper the Scotsman. Read more here:

On Sunday a major earthquake shook the Great Glen fault near Nessie’s home at Loch Ness. The epicentre of the earthquake was between Loch Eil and Loch Linnhe and police reportedly handled dozens of worried calls. Professor Kettle is among many researchers who beieve that earthquakes may cause a greater number of sightings of the area’s famous plesiosaur.

Nessie the Loch Ness Monster has her very own official Christmas lights on Meal Fuar-mhonaidh and this year they will be formally switched on tomorrow, Sunday 4th December. The impressive display consists of a large number of bright lights placed into the shape of a fir tree standing some 60 ft high on the remote mountainside. Beautiful patterns are generated with the lights by a high performance PC and the whole spectacle is visible for many miles – even from the opposite side of Loch Ness! (try driving west along the lower loch side road before Boleskine).

The very heart of the Highlands is under a sustained and bloody attack. A hideous energy company is hell bent on plastering our countryside with massive metal mega pylons to remove electricity from the Scottish Highlands and take it down south towards London. It’s a modern day story of the Highland Clearances; a poor but beautiful land scarred forever and a people raped by a greedy and corrupt English government. Scotland’s landscapes will be blighted, its fragile wildlife including red kites and golden eagles killed. And for what? So that greedy shareholders and directors of Scottish Southern Electric company can grow even fatter and richer.

Looking out of the windows of our Loch Ness project this morning, we notice three new giant wind turbines perched on top of a mountain way off in the distance (at a guess they are at least fifteen miles away but must be pretty big). This is a bit of a shock as we were not aware of planning permission being granted for any such development and we’ll have to investigate today to find out what it’s all about. Certainly there is a plan to build a huge wind farm at Dunmaglass but we are not aware that they have permission yet to proceed. Some wind power is going to be essential but this website will do its bit to make sure that everything is done strictly within the rules.

We can expect a few sightings of Nessie the Loch Ness Monster wearing a hat and scarf now because the big freeze has finally arrived.

Temperatures at our Loch Ness project headquarters plummeted to -8.3 Celsius last night and the freeze looks set to continue. There is some hope being expressed amongst experts and water bailiffs around Loch Ness that the cold snap will deter monster hunters from throwing chickens into the loch and this in turn may keep the H5N1 influenza virus from reaching the old plesiosaur.
