NR2940 : Bottlenose dolphins below Beinn Mhor
taken 14 years ago, 3 km from Lower Killeyan, Islay, Argyll And Bute, Scotland
Bottlenose dolphins below Beinn Mhor
The Mull of Oa tide race runs at 5 knots below the SW coast of the Oa peninsula Islay. Dolphins love to play in these currents. Submerged rocky reefs extend out from the headlands making it a treacherous coast for boats and there are no paths along the shore. Sea kayaking is just about the only way to get this view but requires a great deal of experience. Beyond the dolphins the reef is an extension of the great rock fin of Sgeirean Buidhe. Both these dolphins carried the scars of speed boat propellers on their fins and backs.
