‘See the Seals’ events are free to attend, but any donation you wish to give will be very gratefully received and contribute towards the important work we do in monitoring, conserving and sharing the incredible nature here at St Abb’s Head NNR. Fancy supporting us long term? It will be possible to sign up for National Trust for Scotland membership at the events - just ask a member of staff or volunteer and we will be happy to help!
It is important that seals remain as undisturbed as possible, especially during the breeding season when every bit of energy is crucial! Please approach bays slowly and quietly, respect fences and signage, and keep dogs on leads at all times across the reserve. Thank you so much.
We look forward to sharing seal season with you! - The St Abb’s Head NTS team 🦭🦭🦭🦭
*Weaner: an independent Grey Seal pup who is no longer feeding from its mother.
**Park in NTS car park and access the reserve on foot where possible - thank you. If you have any concerns about accessibility please get in touch!
