‘Tay Fins’

Tay Fins is a science art collaboration between visual artist Fanny Lam Christie and the Sea Mammal Research Unit.


Local Dolphins

This bronze sculpture embodies bottlenose dolphins seen regularly in the Tay Estuary. As you stand here, keep an eye on the water for groups of dolphins surfacing to breathe, jumping, and hunting for fish!


Individual Dolphins

The sculpture dolphins bear the markings of animals known to SMRU. Follow the link to learn more about these individuals
