She was disabled and very ill, but had been camping there for a number of weeks. He asked her why she was there, to which she replied that she’d been waiting for the dolphins. Carn was inspired by her spirit and determination, and since this encounter, seeing dolphins has always reminded him of this brave woman. This prompted him to create a life size dolphin sculpture out of mild steel and galvanized to protect it from rust, for the 2014 'Scottish Traditional Boat Festival' in Portsoy. ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6129186/c5ed56d0-6b6a-4f20-9766-567f65a4cce0.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ![This is a photo of listed building number](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/4332/c399541b-06c7-41e9-a048-5bc4867f90b6.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) [Photo](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/4332/c399541b-06c7-41e9-a048-5bc4867f90b6.jpg) by [Lee.Klement (page does not exist)](//commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Lee.Klement&action=edit&redlink=1) ([Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 4.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0)) ## Visit Portsoy Things to do ![](https://forever.travel-assets.com/flex/flexmanager/images/2026/02/06/expedia-sale-2026-desktop-us-ca.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1400&h=600&q=mediumHigh) ## The Annual Vacation Sale Members save up to 40% on hotels and homes.
