Loch Ness: From Medieval Miracles to Modern DNA

Intellectually Curious

About
We trace Nessie’s legend from Saint Columba’s 6th-century account to the 1930s media storm and the famous Surgeon’s Photograph, then sift the science: the 1987 Deep Scan sonar and the 2018 environmental DNA survey that found no plesiosaurs but abundant European eel DNA. Along the way we explore how misidentifications, optics, and geology help fuel a mystery that endures in culture and imagination.
