Join the Hebridean Whale & Dolphin Trust for a morning of sea-gazing from this gorgeous Hebridean Whale Trail site. Led by our expert staff and volunteers, you will explore the stunning natural environment, and learn top tips for spotting amazing marine life. Species will be hoping to spot among the waves include bottlenose dolphins, minke whales, harbour porpoises, seals and otters. We will also be on the look-out for white-tailed sea eagles, hen harriers and some incredible seabirds like shearwaters, gannets and guillemots. Even if we don't spot your favourite species, this guided walk will help you develop skills to go on and spot more wildlife afterwards.

Join High Life Highland for their watch at Rubha Reidh, Melvaig near Gairloch   "We continue our celebration of Highland mammals with a walk and seawatch at Rubha Reidh, a point ideal for sea watching, if the conditions are right. We will have a short walk followed by some surveying of the waters for seals, dolphins, whales, basking sharks and seabirds. During our watch you can eat your picnic lunch if you wish. The ranger will have a spotting scope for you to use and some spare binoculars but please bring your own if you have them. This event is aimed at adults but interested children aged 8 and over are welcome to join with adults. It costs £9.73 per visitor to operate our Countryside Ranger Service. We make no charge for this event but we rely on your donations to help us protect our Highland wildlife and heritage."   For further details please contact Jenny at jenny.grant@highlifehighland.com

Join Laura for an organised landwatch from Broughty Castle. This year Laura has partnered up with Leisure & Culture Dundee and Historic Environment Scotland to bring four watches to National Whale and Dolphin Watch. Laura will be based inside the walls of the castle at a highpoint with an excellent view of the whole of the Tay Estuary. There is no charge to enter the castle or the grounds and if they wish, people can enjoy a visit to the free museum while there. For information - unfortunately, being an historic building, access inside Brougty Castle is via a steep winding staircase and therefor may not be accessible to all. The grounds are a bit better but would definitely still present a challenge to those with limited mobility. For more information please contact countryside.rangers@dundeecity.gov.uk
