On the storm-swept and uninhabited islands off the north and west coasts of Scotland the grey seal breeds, and these island nurseries are a wonderful sight to see on the not too frequent occasions when they are accessible by boat. Mr. Seton Gordon , who is well known as a naturalist and nature photographer, with a particular interest in the wild life of Scotland, has a very special knowledge of the breeding-grounds of the seal, as he was Admiralty Patrol Officer for Argyllshire and the Inner Hebrides during the War.
