Visit the Scottish Highlands and witness the Moray Firth Dolphin in their natural environment

By Scott Mcleod


Moray Firth Dolphin Watching made simple

When planning a visit to the Scottish Highlands, selecting to stay in Nairn is a great idea for many reasons, , but for wildlife enthusiasts it is a must. This

is because the area boasts an opportunity to take a role in the not to be missed Moray Firth Dolphin watching.

The Dolphins of the Moray Firth are one of the area's best natural spectacles. What makes this group so special isn't just they're thought to be

the most northerly group of bottlenose dolphins in the world, but because they are one of only 3 resident groups in the UK Isles. Though resident

to the area, the pod - which can reach up to nearly two hundred people - is most simply seen in the summertime months, so booking a stay in May to Sep

is advised for the best experience.

Probably the right way to go Dolphin Watching is by ship. Trips out onto the Moray Firth let you get right close to these extraordinary animals, it also

gives you the chance to experience the rest of the sea wildlife including: seabirds, otters, ospreys, seals, harbor porpoises, luxuriating sharks, minke whales and common dolphins. If you decide to take the ship trip, it is advised to select one with a company that is

registered with the Dolphin Space Programme, so that the well-being of the animals can be better protected.

If you wish to see indulge in some Moray Firth Dolphin watching but don't have the sea legs for it, there are tons of places to view the animals on the

land, all you need is a good pair of binoculars - one of the best places to Dolphine watch from the shore is Chanonry Point. You patience will be well

rewarded by the dolpines when they put on a stuning aerial display, jumping out of the water to offer you fantastic piture of these amazing animals.

If this is appealing but the thought of reaching the remote, wilderness of the Scottish Highlands is putting you off, you need not worry. Staying in the

coastal town of Nairn gives you the Moray Firth right on your dootstep, making it the perfect destination and it has the extra bonus of only being 16 miles

from Inverness Airport.
