I think Alistair Jack lives out at Skarfskerry if its the one I am thinking of on the back road to John O Groats just down the road from the rocket house, unless moved?

I have seen Killer Whales at the Seaquariam in Miami last October, this was in captivity, I have a lot of photos of them that I took myself if you want some I will post them up and you can save them. here is two that I took but I have a bunch more including close ups of the face and so on.

thanks for the web address Moira but I think Marina is on maternity leave so was looking for her home address but if we can't get it then I will post it to the address mentioned and ask them to send the letter on

Lynne, try their web site, http://www.caithness-mmm.org/page.php?2
There are some phone numbers etc. on it to give you a start.
From what I've seen about them I would imagine they would be only too please to give some help to your daughter for her project.
