Loch Ness Monster is a large sea creature or beast thought by some individuals to live in Loch Ness, a lake in Scotland.
Most of the suspected evidence supporting the existence of the Loch Ness Monster has been rejected, and broadly believed that the monster is a myth. Current beliefs in lake monsters, such as the Loch Ness Monster, are linked to kelpie folklore, according to Swedish naturalist and author Bengt Sjögren, who wrote in 1980.
According to Sjögren, Loch Monster stories have evolved over time; they were initially described as horse-like creatures meant to keep children away from the loch. The kelpie traditions have evolved into descriptions reflecting a current awareness of plesiosaurs, according to Sjögren.
Tim Dinsdale's Project Water Horse was inspired by an 1879 Scottish newspaper article on the kelpie as a water horse in Loch Ness. According to a survey of pre-1933 Highland folklore allusions to kelpies, water horses, and water bulls, Ness was the most commonly mentioned loch.
