Scotland's Big 5 Wildlife Spotting
By James Armour, The Selkie Scotland boasts some seriously epic wildlife. With the vast majority of the population based in the central belt between Edinburgh and Glasgow, there is plenty of space for animals to thrive. I am delighted to be partnering with the Isle of Raasay Distillery on my ‘Selkie’ challenge to become the first person to run, swim and cycle the length of the Outer Hebrides in aid of the Hebridean Whale and Dolphin Trust – setting off 3.45am 30th July.

Posted on: February 10, 2021 Posted by: James Armour It took me 20 years to realise that the UK is home to over ¼ of all of the world’s whales and dolphins. Killer whales, Humpback whales, common dolphins, Risso’s dolphins, they all live and thrive around the island we call home. It’s not only the wildlife that’s impressive. Our islands are actually also home to some remarkable landscapes.
