EDITORS COMMENTS
In the serene and picturesque waters of Loch Hourn, nestled in the heart of the Scottish Highlands, an extraordinary event unfolded on the morn of August 20, 1872. Reverends Twopeny and Macrae, two esteemed clergymen, and their two young daughters, were taking a leisurely boat ride when they stumbled upon an astonishing sight. Before their very eyes, a creature of mythic proportions emerged from the depths of the loch. The creature, described as a "monstrous serpent" with a "long, sinuous body, covered in scales, and adorned with a crest of knobs and humps," left the reverends and their daughters in a state of awe and wonder. The sighting was not a fleeting one, for the creature graced them with its presence for two consecutive days. The news of this extraordinary encounter quickly spread throughout the Scottish folk lore, adding another chapter to the rich tapestry of legends surrounding the Loch Ness Monster and other mythical creatures of the Scottish waters. The sighting of this creature, which came to be known as the Scots Lake Monster, served as a reminder of the enduring allure of the unknown depths of our world and the mysteries that lie hidden within. The reverends and their daughters, though initially shaken by their encounter, were left with a sense of reverence for the natural world and the profound beauty of the Scottish landscape. Their experience serves as a testament to the power of nature to inspire awe, wonder, and curiosity, and to remind us that there is still much to discover in our world. The photograph above, taken from an original print from Mary Evans Prints Online, captures the essence of this remarkable encounter, immortalizing the memory of the Scots Lake Monster for generations to come.
