Description | Date(s) |
| Nessie, Nessiteras Rhombopteryrx, an Niseag | Loch Ness | Scotland, UK | Most famous in the world! Long-neck, humped back, mustard to black in color | 565 AD to present (Individual sightings too numerous to mention!) |
| Morag, a-Mhorag, Maggie | Loch Morar | Scotland, UK | Similar to Nessie, camera-shy, with a fondness of annoying fishermen. Loch Morar is the deepest in the British Isles, with much clearer water than Loch Ness. Morag is described as: eel-like but with a vertical neck, like an upturned boat, 25-30 ft. long with 4 humps, snakelike, black to dirty brown in color, rough skin, fast-moving. In 1958, its portrait was painted after Dr. George Cooper saw it. On 16 Aug 1969, Morag accidentally (it seems) ran into a boat. The occupants shot at it, but it fled at the sound of the guns, without being visibly harmed. | Jan 1887, 1895, 1907, 27 Mar 1934, 1946 (onshore), 1948, Sept 1958, Aug 1968, 1969 (3 sightings), 1970, 1971, 1972 -present |
