A Whale of a Time –

Scotland One of the Best Spots to See Giants of the Sea

Avid readers of this blog will know that I live by the sea, but unfortunately not where I can whale watch, not even on porpoise. But the west coast of Scotland is to be said to be one of the best places in Europe to see whales. And now the government has put its money where the whales are and has awarded a grant of almost £20 0,000 to the Hebridean Whale and Dolphin Trust (HWDT). The idea is to create a network of 25 whale-watching sites across the west coast of Scotland.

Visitors Shoaling off our Shores

The question of why whales are returning in such numbers to these shores is usually explained by the changes in the gulf stream and the warming oceans that push the minerals that form the food of the krill and other creatures that whales love to feast on and the variety of sea life is staggering with whales of all kinds from minke, sperm, killer, fin, northern bottlenose and even humpback whales. The numbers of porpoises, dolphins and basking sharks, funny looking creatures, spotted is also on the rise. Of course with thousands of miles of coastline it is a tremendous natural resource that often gets forgotten by those living in towns, but the tourists will come if we build it. As they almost say in the baseball movies.

Clock the Whale Watch

There are 83 species of whales, dolphins and porpoises that we know about in the world and recently of those 84 some 24 species have been recorded in the waters off the west coast of Scotland. And of course the whales are often amongst our most endangered species so the nation can play its part in saving the whale.

Cast off for Bargains

Well you know me, I’ll try any pun, but only on porpoise. And it’s time to land a bargain that you won’t want to throw back by checking out our end of the line bargains that you will be hooked on. They all have terrific savings and are all never to be repeated. So if you’ll take this bait you won’t be disappointed.
