Boasting commanding views of the Moray Firth study area on the northeast coast of Scotland, teams are based in the picturesque, heritage-fishing village of Gardenstown, near Banff in Aberdeenshire. Surrounded by majestic sandstone cliffs and rolling farmland, the area is a haven for wildlife. With its seabird colonies, myriad of coastal flowers, ancient rocks and wealth of historical and natural heritage, the region provides the most remarkable site and base for project work.
