Seventy-six years ago today, on November 12th 1933, Hugh Gray was walking back from chuch along the shores of Loch Ness when he saw an "object of considerable dimensions—making a big splash with spray on the surface."
"I immediately got my camera ready and snapped the object which was then two to three feet above the surface of the water. I did not see any head, for what I took to be the front parts were under the water, but there was considerable movement from what seemed to be the tail."
The result, seen below, was the very first photograph of the legendary Loch Ness monster.
