Loch Ness and Lachlan Stuart
Posted by: Nick Redfern on January 8th, 2013
At his Loch Ness Mystery blog, Glasgow Boy provides us with his fourth and final installment on the famous (and highly controversial) 1951 photo taken by Lachlan Stuart, which purports to show an alleged Loch Ness Monster.
GB begins…
“On the 15th July 1951, readers of the British newspaper, the Sunday Express, were greeted with the sensational headline below. Coming to this final part of the Lachlan Stuart case reminds me to look back at what has been written on this blog. The first two parts introduced the story from 1951 and went into the allegations made against Stuart by Richard Frere. This evidence against the photograph was rejected on the grounds that it was inconsistent and contradictory.
“The third post examined the claim that the sun was visible in the photograph and was hence taken in the evening rather than the morning as claimed. This was dismissed as unlikely based on the position of the alleged sun in the picture being inconsistent with the date the picture was taken.”
And here’s GB’s last post on the matter.
