Cottage Diary - Aspenwood self catering luxury Holiday Cottage overlooking Loch Ness in the Highlands of Scotland.

Our guests last week went to Chanonry Point on The Black Isle and joined the eager crowd waiting on the beach in the hope of spotting the Moray Firth dolphins. They were not disappointed and soon they appeared in awesome numbers quite close to the shore. We have also experienced the excited gasps and cheers from the crowd when these magnificent creatures first appear - a dorsal fin at first cutting through the choppy waters of the Moray Firth ...........and then hopefully an acrobatic flip .............. and maybe the full spectacular crescent dive out of the water followed by a huge splash to end the performance and a round of applause from the watching crowd.

Check out more information on the dolphins of the Moray Firth.
