So, R.I.P. Robert Rines, who invented lots of gadgets and hunted for the Loch Ness Monster, Nessie. He lived in Boston USA and some of his “photos” of Nessie are very controversial.

Local residents learned this week that a cruiser company is planning to develop land on the north side of Loch Ness into a million pound harbour complex.
Located at Brackla, the scheme will provide parking and services for punters wishing to take a cruise to various places around the loch including Urquhart Castle and Fort Augustus. There are serious concerns about traffic entering and leaving the new site from the dangerous high speed A82 carriageway (which is in shocking condition and already recognised as one of the most deadly roads in Scotland). Indeed, several people have recently died near to the proposed development.
On the plus side the scheme promises jobs and the developers have pledged to hold public meetings to seek local views and feelings about the best way to proceed. They have also said that expensive solutions such as a pedestrian underpass will be considered to enhance visitor and staff safety and the amenity of the site.
It’s early days with no firm planning application yet lodged at Highland Council and we don’t know what Nessie, the Loch Ness Monster, or local residents and businesses think about this new venture – but it will be interesting to see how things proceed.
She never met him but it was always on the cards and here at Nessie on the Net we have been working towards it. But it was not to be and today the world lost a leading light as Steve was cruelly taken from us by a freak accident:https://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/5313078.stm
Nessie is devastated and could not be contacted for comment. She is said to be sick and tired of the boring mediocrity that came to look for her in the 60s and 70s and the old bearded non-entities that still hang around her haunts like a bad smell. She was hoping for so much more but, sadly, young talent has been cut away by cruel fate.
1995 was the last time Loch Ness had such a long and continuous spell of hot weather. Temperatures at the cameras have exceed 26 Celsius quite often and the rainfall is much lower than average.
So, keep an eye on the cams and you may see Nessie sailing past with a parasol and sipping on a pina colada!!!
It’s truly appalling.: Japan, Norway , Iceland and a basket of pathetic little Carribean nations who have been bribed by blood money from Japan have voted to re-establish international whaling. They want to kill whales and dolphins with harpoon guns that carry a grenade that explodes within the whale’s body and kills it slowly and painfully over 30 to 60 minutes.
Nessie the Loch Ness Monster calls for a total boycott of every product from those nations. Please buy nothing from them and make sure they are completely isolated as the horrible and evil countries that they are. If their people can’t be civilised then they should not be allowed to be in the civilised world. I would hate to think anybody that supports killing whales and dolphins would get anything from this website and I would ask anyone that supports it to leave here now.
Nessie was interviewed today and pointed out that the last Japanese “expedition” that was announced to “look for her” wanted to bring a gunship and sonic weapons to blow her out of Loch Ness.
Nessie, the Loch Ness Monster, asks every man woman and child to do their duty and vote for Lordi, the Finnish entry to the Eurovision song contest:

As the webmaster of this website we ask all of you to vote TONIGHT for Lordi, FINLAND. They simply have to win!!!
Well folks, today was a great day at Loch Ness as top BBC Radio 1 DJ’s Colin and Edith are up in Scotland (with their whole crew and a couple of body guards) for the Radio 1 “Big Weekend”, Britain’s biggest ever free dance festival next weekend in Dundee. They wanted to come and interview me about Nessie the Loch Ness Monster and we spent the morning at Urquhart Castle and famous monster hunting location Achnahannet.
There are some nice photos and their diary of our encounter here.
The program was great fun to make.

Loch Ness finally got some blue skies and warm weather for the first time this year and now there is every chance she will surface to bask in the wonderful 18 degree Celsius heatwave that has broken out!
There is also a welcome abundance of frog spawn growing all over place; welcome because they eat midges and midge larvae and the less we have of them the better!
The Loch Ness Monster was celebrating last night after her enemies the Mega Pylon Monsters were unanimously thrown out by Highland Councillors. There will now be a full public inquiry into the plans to erect the huge power lines all over Scotland’s most beautiful landscapes. More at: http://thescotsman.scotsman.com/scotland.cfm?id=562712006
Nessie the Loch Ness Monster hates to say, “I told you so” but she told you so!!! This story in The Scotsman shows that pub sales in Scotland are soaring after the smoking ban with some pubs running out of beer after they ordered less from breweries because they thought their sales would slump!!!
