    Comment by 'Guest' in media 'White-tailed eagle with grey heron'

    Yes we went with Crannog Cruises down to an island covered in seals and back. Lots of interesting history and geology commentary as well as the wildlife commentary about the seals. There were a few eiders by the mussel farm and lots of gulls around the salmon farm. They did get a little confused...
