Dolphins are some of the most intriguing creatures of the sea. Intelligent and social, athletic and playful.

They are a reminder that we share the planet with some remarkable and precious life. To be respected and nurtured in their environment and not damaged by the excesses of humankind.

They can be seen not far from Stirling in the wider estuary of the river Forth, and who knows they my even venture further up the river to see what we are doing. They are a reminder of how close we are in our space to their world and that we must continue our efforts to make the natural world a cleaner place for us all to exist in together.

Sculpted in aluminium strips, fastened with stainless steel. Gliding on roller bearings.
