3 unusual facts about Rupert Gould


Rupert Gould

Spurred on by the attention to the Loch Ness Monster in the popular press (news) and his previous work on the Sea Serpent, Gould spent some days at Loch Ness travelling around it by motorcycle.

The actor Jeremy Irons played him in Longitude, a dramatisation of Dava Sobel's book Longitude: The True Story of a Lone Genius Who Solved the Greatest Scientific Problem of His Time, which recounted in part Gould's work in restoring the chronometers.

In spite of two more nervous breakdowns he wrote and published an eclectic series of books on topics ranging from horology to the Loch Ness Monster.
