A SCOTTISH tourist attraction has picked up a coveted award from Tripadvisor.
The Whale and Dolphin Conservation’s (WDC) Scottish Dolphin Centre has been recognised as a 2023 Travellers’ Choice Award winner.
The centre is based Fochabers in Moray and gives people the chance to “see the amazing bottlenose dolphins of the Moray Firth”.
It’s run by the WDC – a charity dedicated to the protection of dolphins and whales.
The award celebrates businesses which have consistently received great reviews over the last 12 months, placing these winners among the top 10% of all listings globally.
Visitors to the centre can learn more about whales and dolphins that live in Scottish waters and about WDC’s work to protect them.

The centre’s manager Alison Rose said: “We take pride in providing a great visitor experience for all who come looking for dolphins with us and I hope this will encourage even more people to come to Spey Bay.”
John Boris, chief growth officer at Tripadvisor, congratulated the staff on their award.
“The travel resurgence we’ve seen throughout the past year has even further heightened the competition”, he said.
“Earning a Travellers’ Choice Award demonstrates that you have provided great experiences to those who matter most – your guests.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
