Has Google Street View solved the Loch Ness Monster mystery?

It’s one of the world’s most enduring mysteries.

Does the Lock Ness Monster really exist?

Internet giant Google has enlisted the help of its Street View cameras to try and prove the existence of the legendary crypid.


The search engine has spent the past week scaling the surface of Scotland’s Loch Ness lake with a high-tech 40lb Street View “Trekker.”

They also used state of the art technology to capture shots beneath the surface.

A collection of the images have been released online so that Nessie hunters can join the search from the comfort of their own homes.

One of the most intriguing images captured by the "Trekker" appears to show a large black object floating on the lake's surface.

"We were surprised by this sighting too," a Google spokesperson told the Telegraph.

"Is it a log, a bird or... the monster?!"

Google's search coincides with the anniversary of the publication of what is arguably the most famous image of the Loch Ness Monster.

The “Surgeon’s Photograph” was taken by London physician Robert Kenneth Wilson and ran in the Daily Mail on April 21, 1934.

It was proven to be fake by The Sunday Telegraph in 1975, ensuring the search for the infamous Loch Ness monster lived on.
