A little girl’s photo of the elusive ‘Loch Ness Monster’ has been branded the best picture of the beast in years and incorporated into the\u00a0Official Loch Ness Monster Sightings’ Register.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Charlotte Robinson had been staying at the Loch Ness Highland Lodges at Invermoriston nack in 2018 when something popped up in the water 50 feet from the bank.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Grabbing her camera, Charlotte was able to snap a picture of a blob in the water which apparently surfaced for a minute before disappearing again, reports the Mirror.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Charlotte had been on holiday with her parents Kat and Dave when the incident occurred at about 7pm one evening.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Describing the moment she came face to face with ‘Nessie’, Charlotte explained she knew there had been ‘something’ there.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The grainy picture appears to show an object moving out of the grey water\u00a0<\/p>\n
She said: ‘There was something in the water about 50 feet from the shore. I took a photo. It had a neck and head was in the shape of a hook.<\/p>\n
‘I just took what I saw. It was black – I just don’t know how far it was out of the water. I’m not good at judging distances.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘But after about a minute it disappeared and then came back up again in a different place. It was up for less than a minute the second time.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘I kind of believed in Nessie, but I wanted to see the proof. I always imagined her as having a long neck and flippers. I have seen something but I’m not sure what.’<\/p>\n
The photograph was rapturously received by the Nessie spotting community including long-time loch hermit Steve Feltham – who has spent the last 27 years watching the water.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mr Feltham, 55, who holds the\u00a0Guinness world record for the longest continuous monster hunting vigil of Loch Ness, said: ‘I am totally excited by this photograph – it is the best of “Nessie” in years.<\/p>\n
‘There is clearly a solid object in it and it is relatively clear. It warrants further study. There may be a mundane explanation such as a seal, but I have not heard of a seal in the loch this year.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘For my money it is larger than a seal or an otter. It is a fantastic picture by Charlotte.’<\/p>\n
