MACDUFF MARINE AQUARIUM IS 10 YEARS OLD!

We well and truly celebrated our 10th anniversary in April and enjoyed a big birthday party here at the aquarium. We had party games, balloon animals, face painting and fun quizzes at the aquarium throughout the day. Even the fish got some birthday cake! Best of all, we had a massive conger dance around the aquarium and loads of people took part in the fun..

We had a more sedate celebration of our anniversary in conjunction with the RSPB at the end of April, when the new Troup Head camera exhibit and the RSPB Troup Head reserve were formally launched. It was a lovely day and guests enjoyed guided walks or boat trips to Troup Head, followed by a glass of wine and some food at the aquarium. We were lucky enough to have a talk by Mr Bryan Nelson - a world authority on gannets - and a young Macduff Primary School pupil read out a poem she'd written about life in a sea bird city. A good time was had by all. We are now keeping a beedy eye on the gannets at Troup and are expecting the first gannet chicks to hatch at the beginning of June - watch this space!
