A dead whale has washed up onto a Scottish beach, not far from Edinburgh.
Believed to be a minke, the whale was swept up onto the sands at North Berwick, just a few miles east up the East Lothian coast from the capital, reports the Daily Record.
The decomposing creature was discovered on Sunday morning (May 7) and council officials had put a cordon round the animal, warning people to “maintain an appropriate distance”.
