A family on holiday in Shetland have shared the incredible moment they came to be up close and personal with an orca pod on a seal hunt.
Alex Linklater, 53, his partner Emily and their children, were holidaying at peaceful Eshaness on the islands on Saturday, July 9, when they spotted the tell-tale fins passing in the water close to their cottage.
Quick thinking son Eric, 21, whipped out his camera to film as more of the pod began to appear.
