Highlights

3D Presentation
Nessie Evidence
Loch Ness is about 170 miles (270km) North of Edinburgh. However, you can now see it without actually having to leave Edinburgh at all! A virtual reality version of the lake has been brought here by the 3D Loch Ness Experience on the Royal Mile.
You'll be provided with special glasses, and sat inside a state-of-the-art theatre. The 25-minute presentation uses the latest modern technology, including digital projection, lasers and special effects. As the lake is recreated in front of your eyes, it can seem like you're really there. Not only is this more convenient it's also much safer. As everybody knows, paying a visit to the true Loch Ness can be a dangerous thing to do. Its murky waters are inhabited by a deadly monster. Nessie, as she's affectionately known, is reportedly 8 metres long. Despite this gigantic size, she's an elusive creature. Sightings are few and far between, and there are only a handful of blurry photographs.
The 3D Experience showcases a wealth of evidence, from images to eye witness accounts. However, don't allow yourself to be convinced too easily. There are also details of the various hoaxes that have taken place, where certain sneaky individuals have faked encounters with the beast.
Ultimately, each visitor must analyse the facts for themselves, and come to their own conclusion on Nessie's existence.
