“The bottlenose dolphins of the Moray Firth are one of Scotland’s best-known wildlife spectacles. Besides bottlenose dolphins, cetaceans such as harbour porpoises, minke whales, Risso’s dolphins and other species are reported in the summer season, especially by boat operators in the Firth. Boat operators from Macduff, Banff, Buckie, Lossiemouth, Nairn, Inverness, Avoch, Cromarty and Portmahomack participate in the Dolphin Space Programme. DSP accredited operators are committed to providing high quality wildlife watching trips which do not cause disturbance to marine wildlife.”  From VisitScotland - to find out more click here.

The Solar Shuttle carries 42 passengers and is powered by two engines allowing it to cruise at 4mph across the Serpentine. A similar boat powered by a diesel engine could produce up to 2900lbs of CO2 per annum.
