A Scot has shared the exciting moment he got to watch on as a pod of dolphins playfully chased his boat – capturing their antics on film.
Robbie Brunton, 20, was out near Dunbar on Thursday morning (June 16) when he spotted several pods of dolphins playing in the sea at around 7 am.
Incredibly, one group seemed happy to play up for his camera, frolicking close by and playfully chasing his family-owned boat, the 'Oor Millie'.
"The video was taken just off of blue circle cement works just east of Dunbar at about 7am," Explained the experienced deckhand. "And being a Dunbar local lobsterman, we regularly see pods of dolphins, especially during summer.
"This morning I was lucky enough to see about five different pods one of which decided to play alongside the boat which is quite common."
He was able to capture a clip of two of the dolphins as they weaved in and out under the ship's prow easily keeping pace with the boat.
Robbie said the pair followed the boat for about a mile and he was able to watch on as they swam ahead of the boat for about 10 or 15 minutes.
The fisherman said it's the best footage he's caught yet, adding that they often see pods of dolphins, minkhes and even, if he is lucky, the occasional humpback whale.
Sharing the clip on a local Facebook page, people flocked to thank him for sharing the magical moment.
One wrote: "Fabulous, and they headed along to Belhaven bay where we were swimming a wee bit later too."
Another added: "This is amazing. Thank you for putting this on. It is magical to see them so close."
"What a wonderful sight," added one dolphin fan. "And to think it is in our waters around Dunbar.
"My husband has often seen them off the coast when fishing in Dunbar Harbour."
