    Dec 11 2022

    Weclome back to another episode of Alba 51!

    From the Falkirk Triangle to the Central Glagow sighting, we look at a number of the better known instances of Scots encountering alien craft, and not just the cars coming across from Berwick-upon-Tweed!!

  • Episode 1 - Nessie, Morag, and the Loch Monsters!
    Nov 30 2022

    Welcome to Episode 1 of Alba 51!!!

    For this inaugural episode, we delve into the somewhat familiar world of Scottish Loch monsters! Starting with the familiar creature found in the world famous Loch Ness, Nessie. We then move into less charted waters with a look at Morag, the creature of Loch Morar. Finally there is a whistle stop tour of other breasts that reside in so many other watery landmarks found around Scotland. 

    Are we dealing with living fossils? Could there be unknown species of creatures living in Scotland's lochs? Or could there be far more mundane explanations for all these sightings?! Join us here at Alba 51 as we try to unravel some of the stories and legends surrounding some of Scotland's most famous (and most lucrative) mysteries!
