Why a Booktrail?
Three children are spending their summer on a wild Scottish island.
The Sound of Whales
What you need to know before your trail
Fraser is desperate for adventure; Hayley is fed up she’s even there; while Dunny spends his days staring out to sea. He hasn’t said a word in years. But everything changes with the discovery of two bodies on the beach: a whale and a man. Fraser and Hayley see a mystery-adventure to be solved, but Dunny is inconsolable. And in the end, it will take someone who listens to the sea to put it right.
Travel Guide
The North Minch is one of Britain’s richest and most diverse marine wildlife environments. Many creatures are resident, many others are just passing through.
One third of the whale population of the North Atlantic migrates through the waters around the Hebrides each year.
There are several colonies of Common and Grey seals (pictured) on the shores of Loch Gairloch.
The open waters of the North Minch and the breeding grounds on offshore islands are richly rewarding for both the expert and casual observer of pelagic birds.
