About twelve dolphins have just past the shipyard and are headed in the loch. I'm afraid I was too late with the camera . Davie P might see them

Yes - seen them over at the new pier.

Never seen that before.

Don't think the photos got them however, too late.

I read some where that dolphins are actually gay sharks

I know some people might think ....what drivel ,but then other people might think...he might be right

I hope they are ok. How is the old stinky loch looking these days?

Davie, I remember many many moons ago that I would see dolphins in the loch quite regularly, even recall a basking shark off the maidens planting.

Just coming home for lunch there and one of my neighbours told me they were right outside my house last night!

i never get to see anything

we used to get them swimming ahead of the boat a lot but they would never come into the loch, always veer away below the light, we spent an hour one day trying to get three or four to follow us but they wouldn't, when we got to the pier everyone was asking if there was something wrong as we had been going round in circles at the light for ages, i think i made a story up about a spot of dogfish on the meter or something rather than admit to a bout of friday childishness, sweltered should remember!!!!

Unfortunatley I cannot comment on the Dolphins but I thought I'd share with you an experience that will live with me for quite some time. It was last summer down at Dunaverty Golf Course after work. The heat was unbelievable and halfway up the twelfth hill I had to stop and catch my breath, turned around looking back towards Sanda and the view was quite breathtaking. A shoal of about 150 - 200 porpoises surging up the coast and the sea was like a sheet of glass. You could see them leaping out of the water clearly - I admit I had to sit down and take it all in.

Just kinda hit's home how lucky we are to live in an environment like this. Millions of people in the world will never see a view like that, and somehow I feel we often take things for granted. Doubt I will ever see that sight again, doubt I will ever forget it!

what a beautiful picture you just painted, i would have loved to have seen that, and how gallant of you to say that you paused for a breather rather than admit to hooking your ball into the rough never to be seen again and it was only when you went to drop another on the fly that you glanced round to see if you were being watched that you noticed the display!!!!

Well it as a beautiful picture, and yes I am prone to the odd hook but if I think it's too deep in the rough then I just hit another off the tee and get on with it. ( That's 3 off the tee for you who can only count to one!)

Overheard people talking about ye at the course the last week there!!

August last year when the Dolphins followed the Campbeltown Lifeboat to Carradale.

by the time i reach that hole i'm looking for someone to carry me in, nearly had to get sweltered to do it the last time i played him round the course, still only lost by a stroke, now if i had a buggy, that would be a different matter, even tho i've lost at least 60yds off every one of my irons, too feart i'll fall over on the downswing, so its hands and arms, let the club do the work and take two clubs more than i used to, last round i had i managed to play to my previous handicap of 19, just

We are lucky to live in this part of the world Hitman. I enjoyed reading your post it painted a lovely picture. You must have really felt privelaged to have seen it.

What other 6yr old could navigate himself 3 miles across a city he'd never been in, to the correct multi story car park

And as for the lift incident, that was entirely down to you , and you know it


I like dolphins, and remember the chase below the light. Never saw them in the Loch tho.

(see what I did there, got back on thread)
