I have spent my summer volunteering for the Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society up in Scotland. The bottlenose dolphins of the Moray Firth are the largest in the world. These beasts reach up to 4m in size which is twice the size of your average bottlenose dolphin and there is a population of just under two hundred living in the Moray Firth all year round. Scotland is one of the best places in Europe for land based watching as over 20 different species of whale, dolphin and porpoise (collectively known as cetaceans) regularly visit close to shore. These photos were taken from Chanonry Point, which is an amazing place to see dolphins from the land (they get super close to the shore, sometimes less than 5m!!).
