I hope you enjoy these pictures as much as I did taking them. Plan your next holiday and choose Scotland as your next vacation or short break. Visit Scotland's highlands and Islands for the best experience in wilderness holidays, or for a luxury holiday break in the most beautiful scenery in Scotland - choose the Scottish Highlands.
Having arrived at Sannick beach to walk our two collie dogs I met a local couple who informed me that seals were on the beach and that they also had young with them. I followed their advice and left the dogs in the car after I having taken them for a short walk and played with them near the grassy car park. In fact there is a good walk along the top of the sand dunes for walking along, you can then watch the seals without disturbing them. It is a good idea to take a pair of binoculars with you for a closer view.
