Description
On a stormy night on Loch Ness, Sam is faced with an impossible decision. When finalising the housing development that will destroy the loch, Sam is in need of some guidance. With the loch at risk, who else should appear but the monster beneath. Fresh from their award-winning run in 2022, Simply Surreal return with a new show exploring our Scottish heritage. Featuring traditional music, and some native Scottish language, The Lady of the Loch stands up as a rallying call to act now and save our natural spaces, before they disappear forever.Please note that while all media gallery content is provided by verified members of the event, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society does not review or approve this content before it is posted.
