Scottish Bottlenose Dolphins in Moray Firth

The tension is palpable. There are around 100 people stood on the beach and an occasional fin shows above the surface and then like magic two dolphins explode from the water to a collective gasp from gathered onlookers.

Did you know? The 130-strong pod of bottlenose dolphins in the Moray Firth are the most northerly in the world. They are reportedly worth more than £4m to the local tourist economy.

  1. Nice message! I really support the preservation and conservation of dolphins argyll and all the kinds of marine creatures. Thanks for sharing the video. I'm gonna let others know about this too.
