Virtual tour shows off new cafe and dolphin-viewing centre coming to Torry Battery in Aberdeenshire

The team behind an ambitious new visitor attraction near Aberdeen have revealed a virtual tour of how the new cafe and dolphin-viewing centre will look.

The Greyhope Bay project will see two 40ft shipping containers in Aberdeenshire's Torry Battery transformed into a centre for dolphin viewing and education.

The one-minute-long video shows the design for inside the new attraction, complete with incredible views for spotting dolphins and whales in the harbour and a cafe.

The site will also have educational spaces for learning more about the pods of Bottlenose Dolphins and Minke Whales which are regular visitors to the bay.

Formerly fortified WWII defenses, Torry Battery is considered to be one of the best areas in Scotland to see Cetaceans.

The Grey Hope Bay project aims to bring more visitors to the area, and you can more information about it, and how you can join here.

It's currently thought that around 200 bottlenose dolphins call the coastal North Sea near Scotland home.

Last month, Aberdeen resident Robert Lawrence Snr managed to capture several shots of the beautiful creatures frolicking in the sea around Torry Battery from his vantage point in the car park.
