While I was in Scotland, I went dolphin watching from land at Chanonry Point. It was a lot of fun! The dolphins were herding fish towards a harbor around the corner so they were coming by pretty reliably. The trick is that they’re fast blighters so you have to catch them at the exact right moment (or take hundreds of photos and hope a few turned out good!)

There were a whole group of us there for it (maybe 20 or 30) and it was just a blast!

Today I set off northwards out of Inverness to explore the Black Isle, which is neither. The first stop of the day was Chanonry Point, the headland at the end of Chanonry Ness. Most of this long spit of land stretching out into the Moray Firth is taken up by a golf course, but the end is tastefully adorned by Chanonry Lighthouse and the waters between it and Fort George across the firth are a great place to see wildlife. I saw a couple of seals and no shortage of birds, but the highlight of my brief visit was a small pod of bottlenose dolphins!

I’d estimate there were five or six of them in total, including a young one, and I’m also fairly sure one of them was Spirtle, a female who was badly sunburned a few years ago after being stranded on mudflats for 24 hours. If you look closely at the last picture, the dolphin on the right clearly has a large white marking along its side, and comparing it to other photos of Spirtle it looks pretty consistent with her distinctive scar.
