Alinda of the Loch is a children's fantasy novel written by Oonagh Jane Pope and Julie Ann Brown.

On her eighteenth birthday, Alinda falls asleep, and knowing that they will not be around when she is awakened, the King and Queen find a secure resting place for her and employ a young dragon named Nessie to keep watch of her for those five hundred years.

The story takes an unsuspecting turn when Alinda wakes up staring out of her glass topped bed to a young man named Grant.

From this point, Alinda is introduced to an unfamiliar modern world with airplanes, cars, rock music and very different clothing styles.

Alinda of the Loch is set in Inverness in the Scottish Highlands, and the young dragon employed by Queen Aurora and King Colin to safeguard their young daughter is suspected to be the Loch Ness monster.
