EXPERIENCE
Creating inspiring events, activities, and exhibitions “The Scottish Seabird Centre … is a bridge between the wild spirits of the ocean and the enquiring minds who want to discover it”. Simon King, Wildlife cameraman and broadcaster Studies indicate that only 13% of the world’s oceans remain untouched by the damaging impact of human behaviour. Through our 5-star visitor experience, wildlife adventure tourism, and digital technology, we provide a year-round immersive experience that gives people the opportunity to dive in and explore Scotland’s marine environment. As a Charity our goal is to develop our position as a recognised national marine education and tourism experience that helps people make informed choices about the marine environment.
