Tour Scotland Video Scottish Newfoundland Rescue Dogs Firth Of Forth

Tour Scotland video of Scottish Newfoundland Rescue Dogs in the Firth of Forth by South Queensferry, near Edinburgh, Scotland. A terrific rescue display by the magnificent Newfoundland Dogs at RNLI Queensferry Lifeboat Station’s Open Day. The Newfoundland dog is a large working dog. They can be either black, brown, grey or white and black, called Landseer. However, in Canada, the country of their origin, the only correct colours are either black or Landseer. They were originally bred and used as a working dog for fishermen in the Dominion of Newfoundland, which is now part of Canada. Thet are known for their giant size, intelligence, tremendous strength, calm dispositions, and loyalty. Newfoundland dogs excel at water rescue and lifesaving because of their muscular build, thick double coat, webbed feet, and innate swimming abilities.

Tour Scotland Photograph Sea Queen St Monans East Neuk of Fife June 16th

Tour Scotland photograph shot today of the Sea Queen in St Monans, East Neuk of Fife, Scotland. The new Sea Queen with an African Spotted Eagle Owl. Heavy rain today in St Monans meant that events were not held at the harbour, but in a village hall. The new Sea Queens was a wee bit shy, but once I got here to hold the owl, she began to relax. A lovely lass.
