A man has been charged with intentionally and recklessly disturbing a pod of dolphins by driving his boat through the group.

Police Scotland said the alleged incident happened in the Lossiemouth area of Moray on 25 March.

Officers confirmed the 42-year-old was charged under the Wildlife and Countryside Act.

Last year conservationists warned dolphins were being increasingly disturbed following the Covid lockdown.
