The Moray Firth Dolphins
The Moray firth dolphins can be viewed fairly regularly from the course mainly during the summer months, from a few of the fairways which run along the coastline, and also form the upstairs lounge of the clubhouse. They can quite often be viewed in a playful mood, and displays of their jumping ability are a sight to behold. They also tend to follow any of the little fishing boats which work along the shoreline. Another superb sight, which can add to the enjoyment of playing this lovely Links course.
