Stranding death whales examined
Dozens of rescuers battled through Friday night to save the long-finned pilot whales at Durness, Sutherland. Around 40 are believed to have been saved and are back at sea.
The dead whales were part of a pod of around 70 that sparked stranding fears - which some locals blame on the military - in Durness. The Navy has confirmed it carried out explosions the day before the stranding.
