A DOG walker was left shocked to discover a seal near Glasgow Green on Friday afternoon.
Ross McCully said it “made his day” when he found the seal at the The Clyde Tidal Weir while out walking in the city.
The 31-year-old, from East Kilbride, quickly snapped videos of the rare sight as the creature swam in the River Clyde and lay on the water level infrastructure.
The incident happened at around 3.26pm and Ross said the seal seemed perfectly happy and “not in any distress”.
Ross said: “I was surprised when I saw it and was glad it stayed long enough to get some footage.
“I knew it was quite rare to see it so it made my day.
“I was just out for a walk with my dog.
“We always stop at the weir for 10 minutes and look at the river.
“It didn’t seem to be in distress of anything.”

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!
