A few days ago, we blogged about spotting a Triceratops garden monument. Dinosaurs and prehistoric animals are extremely popular. They do seem to be everywhere, or perhaps because of our vocation we are just always on the hunt for them. Having spotted a Triceratops dinosaur model in a garden centre reminded us of our encounter with a cute Loch Ness monster garden sculpture a few years ago.
To read our earlier blog post about the Triceratops: The Ultimate Triceratops Garden Ornament.
Nessie is thought to lurk in the murky depths of Loch Ness. Most scientists discount the idea of their being a monster in the Loch. However, there are occasional reports of strange sightings on the surface of the Loch. Unusual sonar readings are thought by some to be evidence of the monster.

A Loch Ness Monster Garden Ornament
The beast, affectionately referred to as “Nessie” consists of three carefully sculpted parts. There is the cute head with its big eyes, a hump for a body and the tip of the tail. The garden ornament gives the impression that the monster has just emerged from the water. There have been many theories put forward as to what “Nessie” might be. For example, it has been claimed that a monstrous eel lurks in Loch Ness. Moreover, some believers consider the monster to be a plesiosaur.

Whatever “Nessie” is or is not, the mythical animal provides a good excuse for garden ornament designers to indulge their imaginations. We are confident that the Loch Ness monster garden ornament will prove to be popular amongst gardeners. The further north you travel, the closer to Scotland, the more sales there might be. Not sure what the local wildlife would make of a “Nessie” in the middle of the lawn or emerging out of a flower bed.

“It’s strange what you come across on your travels. The Loch Ness monster garden ornament would make an attractive feature. However, we have too many prehistoric animals in our warehouse, so, sadly on this occasion we will not bringing this sculpture home with us.”
