Bonnie Scotland - Part 2 =)

As I mentioned in my previous post I am going to tell you about a few more experiences I made on my roundtrip in Scotland.

 
We also visited the Wildlife Reserve “Spey Bay”, which was a very interesting part of our trip for me because I really love whales and dolphins. Spay Bay is one of the Whale and Dolphin Conversation Societies (WDCS) who are trying to protect especially the bottlenose dolphins, which are one of the best known and most loved of all dolphin species that live in Scotland’s Moray Firth. The Moray Firth dolphins are an amazing group of animals, and a much loved part of Scotland's natural heritage, but they are also incredibly vulnerable. So the campaign aims to ensure that these animals have a future.
First we listened to a presentation by a volunteer member of the WDCS. She told us that she is doing her job because of her love for the dolphins and you could see that she really fight for their wellbeing.
When we walked outside we were lucky that the dolphins just came around searching for food so we could see some jumping out of the water. The scenery itself was breathtaking so I couldn't stop taking photos of it and I was really happy because on some of the pictures I catched the dolphins jumping out of the water.

 
Next we visited the Findhorn Foundation, an education centre and ecovillage, where the habitats live in spiritual community. They have got their own sewage plant and also grow their own fruits and vegetables, which is possible because of its Mediterranean influenced climate. There are ecological houses and electricity-generating wind turbines. The people there love the nature and they are living a peaceful life in their little village. I honestly have to admit that it was a little bit scary because it seemed to us that they were a sort of sect trying to convince us that this is how everybody should live.
This is a very funny sign we found there :D

 
On our last day of the roundtrip  we went for a forest walk to the waterfalls at the Hermitage. The waterfalls were amazing and the fresh air was very relaxing for every one of us. Of course we took again a lot of nice pictures and had a lot of fun.
 

… to be continued. ;)
