The event, known as ‘The Quest’, saw experts and enthusiasts from all over the world join in the hunt.

This year’s search for the elusive Loch Ness Monster – which took place last weekend – once again set out to uncover evidence of a large creature hiding in the depths of Scotland’s most mysterious lake.

For the first time, the expedition utilized Remote-Operated Vehicles (ROVs), along with baited camera traps equipped with GoPro cameras.

Although Nessie herself failed to make an appearance, the operation still yielded some intriguing discoveries.

Among them was the unexpected find of old cabling – remnants of strobe-lighting equipment deployed in the 1970s by renowned Loch Ness Monster hunter Dr. Robert Rines.

The underwater cameras also captured rare footage of large fish, including pike and salmon – marking the first time such species have ever been filmed in Loch Ness.

Researchers now argue that this supports the idea that the loch could sustain a large carnivorous creature, potentially strengthening the case for Nessie’s existence.

“The excitement and buzz around this weekend has proven that the Loch Ness mystery is very much alive,” said Nagina Ishaq – General Manager of The Loch Ness Center.

“We all want the same thing, to discover the secrets that lie beneath the loch, and we’ve been delighted to welcome so many people into The Loch Ness Center to enjoy the exhibition and Deepscan boat trips across the weekend.”

“The footage we have captured using the ROVs has just made us more determined than ever to continue our search for the truth.”
