A local resident has become the fifth person to officially report a sighting of the Loch Ness Monster this year, according to The Official Loch Ness Monster Sightings Register. The sighting occurred on August 27 at the northern tip of Loch Ness, marking the first official sighting since April.
Gary Campbell, keeper of the register who has recorded over a thousand sightings, reported that the witness was on a hill above Lochend when they observed a wake moving against the prevailing currents for seven minutes. The wake had no visible cause, and the witness captured video footage.
The news comes as Visit Inverness Loch Ness has installed five webcams at various points around the 23-mile loch, allowing enthusiasts to monitor the water year-round from home. This initiative is expected to increase the number of sightings.
The official register now lists five sightings for 2025, with the latest being the first since April. The identity of the creature remains unconfirmed, but the new footage adds to the ongoing mystery.
