13 whales dead of 26 in stranding off Scottish coast *VIDEO*
(AP)–1 day ago
LONDON (AP) — A wildlife rescue organization says 13 whales have died following a mass stranding off the Scottish coast.
British Divers and Marine Life Rescue said Sunday that the mammals were among a group of 26 pilot whales stranded at Pittenweem, in eastern Scotland.
Coast guards, volunteer medics, fire crews and police are all also involved in efforts to rescue the 13 still living.
But rescue coordinator Gareth Norman said that it was likely more of the whales would die.
A further 24 pilot whales from the same pod are currently in shallow water three miles (4.8km) along the coast at Cellardyke.

The remains had to be winched up a cliff by council workers following post mortems.
A Fife Council spokesman said the operation near Pittenweem was “incredibly awkward”.
Meanwhile a whale thought to be one of the ten rescued from the doomed pod on Sunday died off Leith, Edinburgh. Rescuers hope the remaining pilot whales will head north to the open sea.
