Actually, one of the earliest reports of something in Loch Ness came in the 7th century and was a description of an attack and how a priest ordered the monster to leave the man alone and it did. However, this story is probably not the best one to believe in. The priest, Columba, also told stories of how he could kill wild boars with his voice alone. Sounds like he spent way too much time alone as a child.

Now something interesting happened in 1952. A speedboat racer was trying for a new speed record on the loch when his boat seemed to hit something and disintegrate. No evidence of what he hit, but his boat torn to shreds because of how fast he hit it. He was killed in the accident. While this is not an attack per say, if there was a monster involved, it could be brought up as something interesting.

Now the important question, is there a Loch Ness Monster? More than likely not. No evidence to prove its existance. Stories and very sketchy photographs. With all of the people watching the loch and searching it and setting up electronic recording equipment, something would have been found by now if something was there. If you base the belief of Nessie solely on the stories, then you have to believe in werewolves too because people told stories of those for centuries. The only way to prove the existence is to capture one dead or alive, or have a very detailed and length video of one that biologists can examine and make conculsions from.

There's no definitive proof that the Loch Ness monster exists, but none that it doesn't, either. It's been speculated that the Loch Ness monster is a pleisiosaur, which has been extinct for centuries, supposedly. That said, the coelacanth was supposed to have been extinct for centuries, as well, but have been since 'rediscovered'. We find new species all the time, so it wouldn't surprise me if we did end up finding a pleisiosaur still alive somewhere.

Hahahaha! Agreed. And it doesn't even make sense. Couldn't one conclude that IF that Loch Ness monster was real, it was perfectly adapted to it's environment and did not need to evolve any further.

It's not even certain if Nessie exists. Several eyewitnesses and cryptozoologists believe that one or more "monsters" live in large lakes such as Loch Ness, but no one can be certain of the dangers of an animal that has not even been proven into existence.

It obviously does not exist today or we would know and have definitive proof. What do you mean available only in Scotland? What are you gonna take a plane there and buy one? Grow up. If you actually believe in crap like this you have serious issues.
