Can't wait to see the pictures of that leviathan.
Basking Shark feeding off Lybster Harbour at 4.20pm, the shark was about 20feet in lengh.
This is the 3rd Basking shark seen and reported around the coast of Caithness this year.
1st was at Gills Bay on the 6th June
2nd was Duncansby Head on the 7th June
I have pictures and will publish when i can.

Almost sure I saw this in Sinclair Bay on Monday at about 6.30 am.
Just a fin breaching 2 or 3 times in about 5 minutes. Definitely wasn't a Porpoise or Killer Whale.
Although you can never be certain without a photo i suspect Ducati it may well be the same animal that was seen at Gills and so it would have passed by you on it's way down to Lybster.
If anyone does see a Basking Shark the Lybster Shark has a tear about 3 inches down from the top of the trailing edge of it's tail fin.
