More than 50 pilot whales have died in Scotland after becoming stranded on a beach on the Isle of Lewis, marking the largest mass stranding in the country in decades. Despite attempts to refloat the stranded whales, only one is believed to have survived. The British Divers Marine Life Rescue suspects that the whole pod was stranded after one whale experienced birthing complications.
