Lisa Farley, centre co-ordinator said: “The Really Wild Festival has become a great annual feature at the WDC Scottish Dolphin Centre.

“We had so much for children and adults alike to enjoy.”
A special treat for those visitors who arrived by car was waiting in the form of a cart pulled by two Clydesdale horses, which was to be the ‘shuttlebus’ between the car park and the Dolphin Centre.
