Basking sharks shoaling in large numbers off Scotland

[mhm]

Basking sharks were recorded shoaling in large numbers off Scotland's coast last year.

Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH), the University of Exeter and researcher Colin Speedie have been examining "hot spots" for the sharks.

In a newly-released video publicising the work, Mr Speedie said shoals of 73 fish were counted off Coll.

A shoal of 50 fish were also recorded around Hyskeir, a group of rocky islets near Canna.

Would be nice to see this, would have thought it to cold in the water to attract these creatures

They're probably waiting for the day when Fat Alec gets independence and Sots throw themeselves into the sea in despair 

Yes, I do know they don't eat humans - yet!

When the Chinese learn about it - they will be there in Hundreds to collect the Sharks' fins for Shark Fin soup .
