These reports appear to imply that there is only on seal and of course it is Sammy The Seal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Paul Hogarth Company is a long established team of Landscape Architects, Urban Designers and Planners with offices in Edinburgh, Belfast and Dublin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex
