The famous 1934 photograph of the Loch Ness monster

Photograph - Keystone-Getty Images

Taken on April 19th and first published on April 21st, 1934, it was a photograph that spawned a multi-million-pound industry, bringing monster hunters from across the world flocking to Scotland. It may be a fake, but 80 years on Scotland has made millions thanks to this Nessie snapshot.

In 1934, Colonel Robert Wilson, a highly respectable British surgeon, said that he noticed something moving in the water and took a picture of it. He happened to be urinating at the time, according to one version of what he shared later. The resulting image showed the slender neck of what some felt was a “sea=serpent” rising out of the Loch. The photo came to be known simply as “The Surgeon’s Photo” and for decades it was considered to be the best evidence of the Monster.
