AT least 18 species of shark can be found in the waters around Scotland, according to UK conservation charity, The Shark Trust.
They range from the small dogfish – up to three feet in length – to basking sharks, which can grow to 30ft and are found off the west coast in late summer. Others include the small-spotted catshark, tope, starry smooth hound, Greenland shark and angel shark.
