Hi,

I'm moving to Stirling for the next 3 years, so was checking out the SNH website for potential jobs, when I stumbled across this'virtual guide' to the Isle of May.

While I'm sure it won't be half as useful as the talk Tom gave at the UKNP conference, it may be of interest to anyone thinking about visiting!

Hi Paul,

My fiance's starting a PhD studying bumblebees and crofting systems on the Outer Hebrides. (Not that I really needed an excuse to move to Scotland!)

Very nice website. Has anyone been there for the seals? The blue round boulders look superb to photograph with seals.

You are not allowed on in the seal breading season...

Hi Tom, Yes, I know. But you are allowed on in September when the population begins to swell. I'm not so interested in the pups, I can do that at Donna. It was the blue stones and setting that intrigued me. I just wondered if anyone had been there especially for the seal, rather than birds.
