Swan Attack at Holyrood Park

A tragic wildlife incident unfolded at Dunsapie Loch in Edinburgh’s Holyrood Park, where a nesting swan pair was viciously attacked by a dog, killing one and injuring the other—just weeks before they were set to hatch new cygnets. Historic Environment Scotland confirmed the dog targeted the breeding pair, whose long-standing success in raising young made the loss even more heartbreaking. Police Scotland is investigating, pursuing leads to identify the dog’s owner, while the event serves as a stark warning about the need to keep dogs under control near wildlife nesting areas.
