WDCS has two wildlife centres in Scotland, both are free to visit.

Simon King"Scotland is one of the best land-based dolphin watching hot spots in the world" - Simon King, BBC Springwatch.

Have you ever seen a dolphin? The Moray Firth in Scotland is home to a population of around 130 bottlenose dolphins, including the WDCS adoption dolphins. It also plays host to an abundance of other wildlife including: seabirds, otters, ospreys, seals, harbour porpoises, basking sharks, minke whales and common dolphins. Find out more about where to watch in the Moray Firth.

A visit to our centres is a great day out and gives you the chance to meet the WDCS team and find out how you can support the Protect Our Dolphins (POD) campaign and our other work to protect Scotland's whales and dolphins. We hope to see you soon!
