The endless search for the Loch Ness Monster, or Nessie, is taking a new turn this year with the opening of a completely revamped and re-imagined Loch Ness Centre in a former hotel in Drumnadrochit, Scotland.
Hundreds of thousands are drawn to the remote Scottish lake, either out of belief that the monster lizard is real (or should be) or because the whole mystery phenomenon and myth is attractive.
The Centre, which formerly was a fairly dry exhibit about the story has been redone as a lively attraction that its operators say is “about bringing the story up to a David Attenborough level of science and spectacle,” adding that “We’re investing in the next generation of Nessie hunters and the search will keep going. You don’t get this in Lake Windermere, or in a pond in London’s Regent’s Park. Something has been happening for millennia here and there’s still something unexplained.”
