Award Winning Attraction at Drumnadrochit

Loch Ness Centre Exhibition Experience

The Loch Ness Exhibition by the Drumnadrochit Hotel includes a number of important scientific findings but remains user friendly and jargon free. "We want to broaden people's experience of this type of environment," says naturalist and narrator Adrian Shine. "It is not just a monster exhibition. It tells people about Loch Ness and also about Scotland and the ecology of a Scottish loch". Visitors to Loch Ness are invited to weigh up the available information & research results, the many eye witness accounts and the facts and figures on the sheer size of the loch - including the amazing fact that it holds more fresh water than the whole of England and Wales put together - and make up their own minds on the matter of the great monster legend.

A hi-tech multi-media presentation in 11 languages leads you through 7 themed areas and through 500 million years of history. An insight into the loch's wider significance, designed and narrated by the naturalist Adrian Shine. Whilst keeping the mystery centre stage, it is placed firmly into the context of a loch with rare & unusual properties: some still motivate expeditions while others can "create" monsters. See the very latest multi-media system, original research equipment and authentic underwater films. Using a highly effective mix of lasers, digital projection and special effects, chart the history of the monster by exploring Scotland's geological past, its folklore and the various research projects carried out on the loch.

The Loch Ness Exhibition has provided the researchers accommodation, a lochside field station, harbour and laboratories for two decades of original research. In an educational role, the Centre's laboratories and classrooms now host collaborating scientists, university field trips and school visits, while support is provided for individual studies from undergraduate to PhDs. In the last decade some 64 separate studies have been completed, ranging over every aspect of the loch. Often the answers lead to more questions. A website includes school work-packs for downloading all over the world.
