My new question was about how old the Loch Ness monster is, and so, I went searching the web once again and came back with this little bit of info.
Nessie was first spotted by the Vikings - Celtic and Norse folklore has stories of water horses seen in the lochs. The first written account of a meeting with Nessie seems to be that of Adamnan in 565 A.D. He describes St. Columba's sighting of a very large monster in Loch Ness.
Legend tells of how St. Columba heard about the monster's murder of a man and how he rowed out to the centre of the loch to order the beast to desist from such attacks in the future. Ever since that time, Nessie has never been known to have repeated its misdemeanour.
So - going from the first written account of Nessie - if my calculations are correct, the Loch Ness monster must be at least 1441 years old.
