I was on the Moray Coast today, between Findlater Castle and Cullen which I just realised isn't on the official trail, but shouldn't be missed really if you're on the Moray coast anyway. We saw a pod of dolphins, close up, at least 10 in number.
If you do the entire trail on your visit and keep an eye out to sea, you are almost certain to see dolphins or Whales.
There was 4 of us today, 2 on 2 legs, 2 on 4 legs and 1 badly broken arm, but good to be out!
All the best with your trip.
